Help me buy a computer

Suppose elerrina_amanya and I were buying a laptop or whatever they're called these days.

Apparently it is possible to get student discount on a Mac. I was going to say I needed more info on Macs, but I suppose a new Windows machine would have Vista, of which I have heard little and none good. When Microsoft came up with an OS that mostly works, why can't they just stick with it?

If it helps, you can jump through hoops some place to get XP. Puck has XP Pro and I got him a few months ago from Dell.

On the Dell website they're showing a choice of XP or Vista. I wonder how long for.

I know they brought the XP option back after a lot of people complained.
