Microcenter has a very large selection of PCs and components....and good prices. That would be my #1 store...its just that there isn't enough of them.

Compared to when XP was 1 year old...Vista is by far better. I do not mind it. Its been working fine for my everyday box. Microsoft is known to be incompatible with older apps...and they'll always be a bunch of dicks about it. Phish...I see that problem every day...I deal with a lot of business customers who cannot jump to vista because most of their software will not work. Luckily we still provide some XP-pro machines at our store.

Gore...you provide some of the best Linux information I've ever seen...but you gotta admit...when it comes to windows, you'll always be negatively biased
