What is the general feeling out there for a new machine as far as OS? Should I just put my money towards Vista even though it may not be the most stable yet? Also, 32 or 64 bit?
Please let me know if I have any compatibility issues, or if for a couple bucks here or there I could significantly upgrade overall appearance.
Thank you for any help you can offer me- Happy New Year!!
