I’m so dissatisfied with Vista. Looks like I will always need an XP box to do real work and the Vista Home Premium doesn’t accept Virtual PC to run one. All I use the Vista box for is ripping DVDs, which can be done by XP, and Web. There’s no ty to MS software. Maybe, a Mac would be good for this purpose. And still use Win Home Server, Win2K3/8, or NAS for storage.
These tiny boxes are tempting. ~$600-$800
