Looking for a new desk top computer, and wanted some feed back on HP.
Thanks in advance!

Not bad machines, lots of subsidiary parts sometimes. What do you do with your computer? My recommendation would be to get 1 gig of RAM, cause if you want to run Vista(the next windows) it will help.

I would NOT get an HP.
I am happy with my Dell and will get anotherone when i need one.

Its open market release date is 1/30/07, very graphics based OS which I think is the wrong way to go but eh whatever I guess. Some claim it is windows trying to be a Mac, trying to be a little more aesthetically pleasing. It is still a NT based OS like XP was. Obv. an OS like a new car or engine model will have bugs with it that need to be worked out. If/when you get it I would wait until March or so. Personally I am not a huge fan of Macs, they are quiet pricey and I have grown up in front of a PC. You could say to hell with it and run Linux We have a couple of beta and volume buyer versions of it at work, I have not had a chance to play with it yet. One thing that is nice I guess is there will be something like 5 versions of it, so hopefully one of them will work for ya.
