For example, Photoshop 7.0 does not work well with Vista. I still use
PS7, and if I was in the market for a laptop I'd buy a Dell with
Windows XP. To the best of my knowledge, Dell is the only company
that still offers XP. Upgrading software may cost more than the
laptop.


I believe that ended last month. I bought my new laptop from them in
May, and there were only a few models that still had the option for
XP, and the deadline was approaching. I wasn't thrilled with Vista,
but I opted for a laptop with 4 GB of RAM, and it didn't have the XP
option. I am very happy with it though. It is much faster than my
desktop, which topped out at 2 GB. And it is a ton better than my old
laptop which was really slowing me down at events when I needed to get
proofs done on site and overnight.
