I really don't think I'll bother to upgrade. I think, especially in this particular case, you're better off getting a new system with it pre-loaded. In my case, I'd look to new a nice Mac with both OS' pre-installed.

I'll probably opt for a macintel machine in the future.

Same here but not before Adobe updates its software to run natlively on Mac Intel systems. CS3 is expected to be released in late spring/early summer of 2006.

I've been really curious about these new ultra-mobile systems. They're expensive (compared to laptops) but they're really, really cool. And the specs are not bad. Check this out:

Sony is rumored to have something similar coming out soon.

I have been playing around with Vista and so far I am not impressed. It really requires a lot more hardware muscle than XP and I have already uninstalled it. I will not convert to it until I am forced to.
