I would only buy a Win XP pc right for the foreseeable future because I run so many complex programs (incl.. for video editing, encoding etc) that may or may not have driver or performance issues with Vista. Plus I am familiar with XP. Hell I still run the Windows "classic" interface even in Win XP since it is easy to deal with. (I hate flying or moving windows or menus)

All my pcs are Dells and although there is some extra b.s. pre-installed, it is nothing that detracts or that you cannot uninstall easily enough. I just picked up a dual 2.4 Ghz processor Core 2 Duo Dell Dimenson with 4 Mb cache brand new in teh box off of ebay for $700 that halved my hdv--> wmv, quicktime, real etc encoding times compared to the Pentium D 3.0 Ghz system I am still using for hdv capturing and editing.
