I heard that Microsoft is releasing a Service Pack for Vista somewhere 1st quarter next year. I found this time line on the internet:
Timeline
• Till February 9th: Nominations are being accepted
• Till mid February: Customer selection and program kickoff.
• Q2’07: Windows Vista SP1 Beta testing and deployments.
• Q3’07: Windows Vista SP1 RC testing and deployments.
• Q4’07: Windows Vista SP1 RTM testing and deployments. Customer signoff on Windows Vista SP1.
• RTM + 60 days: TAP ends and customers move to normal support channels.

If u wanna know more about the dangers of Vista read this:

I am looking at a new PC as well but think I am going to stick with XP for now and switch in future once SP1 of Vista has proven itself.

This is the config I am looking at atm. Its not a cheap one but would make me last for a while I would say.

• Creative I-Trigue 3220 speaker set,
• 500 GB SATA2 Harddisk,
• Kingston HyperX 2 GB DDR2-800 Kit RAM,
• Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard,
• GigaByte P35C-DS3R Motherboard,
• Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard,
• AOpen DSW2012P DVD-rewriter,
• Cooler Master CM 690 Midi tower,
• Chieftec CFT-500A Power,
• Asus EN8800GTX/HTDP graphics card,
• Microsoft Windows XP Home,
• Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6850,
• Samsung SyncMaster 206BW LCD 20 inch

Sound okay?

That system is helluva espensive.

The graphics card is pretty ace though

@slayer good specs would be a good pc in my opinion.
