If you need to get used to Vista why not get used to OSX? You and others said you should stick to Windows if you know it but in a couple of months if you buy a new PC you'll need to get used to something new anyway. Why not make it something that works?
The days of me buying computer parts and components just to keep up with the cutting edge is long gone. I use my computer for a few things: PC Client softphone, MS Office, Messenger, Photoshop, some casual video editing, and a couple office DB apps. Not terribly resource intensive.
Like I said once before, I could be a Mac user in a year or two, but until my hardware isn't doing what I need anymore, I'm not upgrading to anything, PC or Mac.

Right now I can barely figure out what I'm typing because I have photoshop open. If I was burning a DVD as well, forget about it, I wouldn't even be on the computer
In defense of your arguement though, I'm running only 512mb of ram on a 3 year old P4 machine...

same boat here - recently switched to MAC with a MacBook Pro.
So far I'm liking it - downloaded NeoOffice for free - that'll do everything I need for a office suite.
