I bought a new Toshiba laptop with Vista on it, I really prefer XP to Vista now but it's still good, and tbh Vista is better visually and graphically. I also like the part about when you hover around the tabs in taskbar you can see small pictures of the application and what's happening. Sometimes I read "k" and "lol" stuff without having to open the window. xD It wasn't a waste of money, and one more genuine Windows copy on that made it easy for me to update.
