Why Windows Vista Won't Suck

[Ace Pace]

I think Vista is going to be the finest Microsoft OS period, in spite of the shitty name. I plan on buying a $5,000-$10,000 gaming rig when it comes out. In the unlikely event that it blows, I've really been stocking up on XP hardware of late, so I'm well covered (and of course you can always go with Apple, or Linux, or a Sun workstation with Solaris...)

ibuypower has a similar system for a little more than half. It's probably a little bit weaker, since the 4.2+GHz overclock is pretty nuts (though the ibuypower comes with an FX-60), and the paintjob is kind of cool on the Dell machine.

Actually no, that Dell system has the Physics PPU and a 30" LCD.
