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?

I'm not planning on getting Vista if there's any way to avoid it. I suppose it will get used for writing assignments, surfing the net, making icons and maybe a bit of programming. What image editing programs would it come with?

I imagine Vista has some sort of basic Microsoft image editor on board, but I don't know for sure. As for what comes standard with a Mac, I have no idea.
