Robert,
I just bought a new computer and while I'm not happy with Vista I just couldn't go with the Mac's that I can afford. If you can spend over 2 grand then yeah get a Mac. They do have a program that is like excel, powerpoint, forgot the name but it can open those files from Office from what I was told.
I ended up buying an Alienware PC. I spent 17k on it and I like how I was able to select what I wanted in the dang thing.
So far I haven't had one problem with Vista but I'm a little computer savvy so I disabled a lot of stuff Vista has running.
It is so true when it comes to buying a pc of "You get what you pay for" remember that. Building your own is the best, and that is why I selected Alienware because basically I selected what I wanted and they built it for me. I didn't want the hassle of going to the store buying this and that. Besides Alienware surrives on their reputation and they work hard at keeping it.
I haven't even bothered to upgrade to Vista with all the bad stuff I've heard about it. I still have XP.
I really don't need a large computer myself. I'm currently only using 8.2% of my computer's space or 22 GB.
