had a flock of green cheek conures squawk out:

>If I can give my 2 cents about Vista, to get the best deal, buy a new
>computer/laptop with Vista on it, since the price alone of the upper
>versions of the OS is ridiculous considering it has compatibility issues
>with a great number of software titles (at this time).  This was a problem
>with XP as well and it can literally stop you in your tracks if you run a
>business or do a lot of work from home.  Luckily, some versions of Vista
>come with complete multimedia solutions like DVD making/burning, which I
>will have to convert the CoCo TV project to soon.  Vista and Nero don't mix
>at this point unless you upgrade Nero for a cost.

>So far, the IDEs that I use for all of my development work well under Vista
>with no changes required.

Newegg.com has the OEM versions and they are half the retail price.
The OEM versions can do an upgrade or bare install.  Activation works
the same way as it does for OEM XP.
