I recently ordered a laptop from Dell. It's plum purple and much nicer looking that I thought it would be. The purple is kind of subtle; it makes me wonder what the green one would have been like, but I still think it's too apple green for me.
Anyway, my original plan was to get the laptop with Vista and then "upgrade" to XP Pro. I've decided to postpone that for now and see what Vista is really like. I know what I've read, that it's a dog, horrible, etc. If nothing else, I can say it's pretty. And not having a mouse for control is very challenging (I'm not a big touch pad person).
So, I'll give it a month (if I last that long), and decide if it's okay enough to keep.

Vista isn't really that bad if you have a fast enough computer. There are better security features that can be a bit annoying at first, but protect you against spyware. As people have worked on making software more compatible with Vista over the last year and a half, it's gotten lots better, so try it.
Well, I don't like Vista... especially since I'm using XP at work and have Vista at home. It's inconvenient to remember how Vista does something vs. XP.
Oh, and you'll want to get a mouse for all but the most mobile times...
Long as you can still read my blog, what's the problem? That's the most important thing.... :-)
