I'm surprised how much I actually like vista running on the lenovo from tigerdirect. I got it on sale for $299 with 2 gigs ram. It runs rather smoothly and has several prompts when items are trying to install.
I guess MS is trying to address virus protection in this version of the OS. Of course, this machine is for the wife who actually wanted a windows machine.
Just to drop a note on her windows machine...the live desktop gadgets are interesting, with a live clock. I'm trying to find a calendar that I know is safe to install on this machine...hard to tell if installing something will lead to malware. Wish MS had a calendar gadget...
