Re: Vista - Why so many flavors?

You see more Dells needing repairs because of the numbers that Dell sells. I see the same thing as a PC tech.
As for different brands, all PCs are made in China anyway and there isn't as much difference between brands as people think. Sure, a home-built PC is going to suit your needs best, but does it have someone a phone call away to help you with problems? That's the reason I stopped building PCs for people.

Vista has compatibility problems for a good reason. Programs can't modify the Vista kernel as easily as they could with XP. That means programs can't mess things up like they used to (are you listening Symantec?), which creates a more stable system. Hardware drivers have to be signed by Microsoft meaning that no name companies can't make a dirt cheap device, pound out a driver, make a quick buck and disappear.

The security in Vista far out weighs it negatives for most users. Of you PC techs out there, how many Vista machines have you seen with spyware and trojans like XP gets?

Anyway, the point of this thread has nothing to do with hardware, just Vista. Vista doesn't fry PCs. Vista doesn't get corrupted like XP does.
If you're buying a new machine, get Vista.
