i have it at work and will soon use it for both work and home use, how is it poor? its very similar to xp excet uses a flashy interface people who say XP is much better are chumps trying to look clever by saying vista is crap.

Once drivers are about for most things it will take off plus XP oem wont be available to buy soon

Vista would run like a bag of nuts and bolts on that.

Doubt you'll find many vista laptops with less than a gig ram and a better proc, which puts the price up.

looking at this lappy. couple of things. it worth gettin a lappy that doesnt have vista on it? whats the media centre setup like?

also do these acer screens have the glass front rather than the oldschool ming laptop screens that r all dull?!
