I think it would be best for Microsoft to recognize Vista as a huge sunk cost and try again. If they are not careful, they could follow the path of the Big Three to these smaller companies if they keep making systems that people don't like. They seem to be in a rut right now in just about everything they are in. They lost the HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray war. The XBOX 360's issues have not helped them in their image for quality. Vista is giving them headaches. Some of their other joint ventures are not doing well either.

TeeWJay426, it's not unheard of for people to get lemons. It happens with everyone sooner or later with any brand. Just most of the people I have talked that work on computers to have recommended Toshibas and I have checked and that is also what they use so their not just saying that to keep themselves in business.
