So - my wife keeps telling me to buy a laptop ( so I'll quit complaining about not having one), but everytime I think I might have decided to get one, I come up against a stark brick wall that stops me dead:
They only come with Microsoft Vista.
The stories of Vista user horror stories are multiplying on the internet like the mosquitoes in the rain puddles in my back yard, and I am not going down that path, ever.
I am going to have to sit down and decide what apps only run on Windows, and how I will live without them when I get my new Macbook.
Update: Dell is now offering systems with XP preinstalled, a breathtaking reversal of longstanding Microsoft policy. Michael Dell must be very sure of his position to go against the Beast from Redmond.
