Wait - the best Vista tip: Don’t buy it. Switch to Linux, in the long term, you’ll be MUCH happier.
Remember, friends don’t let friends use Vista.

Happy Penguin…
In the long-term we’ll be dead.
But thank you for satisfying the online requirement that every Vista article have a post suggesting I switch to Linux or OSX.
Two hours went by and I was beginning to get worried…
