Mac or laptop?

@ windows 7 point: That's a possibility too, but i wouldn't exactly put your life savings on it at the same time. All windows products are horrible in the beginning and take quite a lot of time to make it a successful operating system. Sometimes it might not even happen at all. *Cough*VISTA*cough* Don't take microsofts "oh it's lighter and more advanced! *kicks vista in the wastebin*" because i distinctly remember them saying something similar before vista came out.

Well that was implied. <_<
Windows products need to be aged like cheese.
Also, Vista isn't a complete failure, no matter what the hivemind thinks.
