Rating:  - Awesome OS
Windows Vista Home Basic w. SP 1 is the best Windows offering yet, more security, awesome new features and beautiful graphics. MAC OS X and Vista sp 1 are the only way to go for solid operating systems, both offer amazing unique features and you can now run Vista on a MAC. 5/5 Great job Microsoft.
AVOID Linux it sucks...
