Online vs retail prices ( US )

[short]

I don't know where you shop, but I usually buy online because things are cheaper. Sometimes shipping costs are so high, however, that the prices turn out to be comparable. But in any case, the components and systems are manufactured without any plan of how they will be sold, so I think they are all the same.

Buying a computer with an operating system as old as XP is now (6 or 7 years) seems like a mistake to me. Vista has always worked fine for me and there are certainly far fewer problems in this forum about Vista that there were about XP after it was released. In any case, the service pack will solve the remaining problems with the guts of Vista and the GUI is just something to get acquainted with, like with all OS's. The "bugginess" of Vista seems completely unsupported by the facts. It is a form of internet...

Sorry, been there with vista, hit that, and quit that. Not goin back I hate how bulky it is. And slow.

Okay, there are more, but I just thought it would be amusing to point this out. You guys don't need to bother responding to him any more.
