Windows Vista Ultimate Retail Full Install: $378.99
Upgrading to Vista compliant PC to take advantage of all features: $300-1500
total cost:
roughly $700-1900
or in other words, the cost of a Mac Mini, to a 20" iMac

alt+tab was there, yeah. But windows+tab is new to vista. Oh, and I wish I had money for a mac but I don't, so I have to use the next "best" thing Windows. You can argue that Linux, Unix, or Solaris are better but, I don't want to hear it.

That is so misleading. With $700 you can buy an new computer with Vista-installed and monitor.

that $700 mac mini, while it doesn't have a monitor, has a fully operational, professional grade operating system, and will run all the fancy features of OS X smoothly, and quickly...

ah, but for the $700, you get a computer that runs vista home premium with none of the fancy features, as the integrated video cards can't handle it... not to mention the lack of a lot of useful features that aren't enabled in the home version
