A few times this past couple of weeks I have been approached about whether to wait and buy a computer next year with Windows Vista or get one now. I'm firmly in the camp that Vista is not so special that if you are in need of a new computer, go ahead and get it. Worse case scenario is that if Widows Vista turns out to be a blockbuster must have (which I doubt), any new computer will be capable of running it. I'm even hearing rumblings that some of the Vista upgrades my be downloadable…which furthers my case of how uninteresting this release of Windows may be.
IF, however, you are getting along just fine and can wait until summer or winter 2007 or even spring '08 for a new computer, sit tight and see where the chips fall then.
