Started a new thread about it, since I am confused about the Vista hype. While it might be better to say there, what's the advantage security-wise?

It is similar to linux now. The level on which programms run. YOu need to allow programms to run.
On XP all programms run..soemtimes even unwanted. With Vista you have UAC..which can be a pain in the ass ..but gives security

(With an AMD dual core you get extra security with the build in safety of the processor)

I forget to add for stability...Vista can shut down drivers and software...and restart them.....with out ....crashing your pc or the need for a restart.
THat is propably the nicest feature I saw till now

where will the wires go now?

There won't be as many. The XPS One is a all in one computer, like an iMac. There is a power plug, but it has built in wireless and bluetooth. I will probably have a wire hooking for my printer, but that's about it. As my computer is hooked up now. I have wires for my modem, my speakers, my webcam, my mic, my wireless keyboard and mouse reciever, etc., etc. It's a mess. All of that stuff is built in to the XPS One. It's not the most powerful computer, but it would suit my needs. Take a look at it:

LA, I bought a new "E-Machine" computer not too long ago myself.
It says "Made in Framingham, Mass" on the back of it.
Where was yours made?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
