Even though "Windows 7" might be a fixed version of Vista, it does work better, which is definitely a good thing.
Problems with computers is that Mac's is that they are all copy&pasta between them. Only reason they have their reported stability is because there are no differences between the machines. They also charge you $1500 for a $500 machine just because of the Mac sticker on it.
The other other choice after that is Linux. The problem with Linux is that you need a PhD in computer programming to get it working right. Since there is no support program in forms of aftersales or similar and since it is plagued with programme and driver incompatibilities, it is not really a viable option to use.
All this, then again, leaves Windows as the viable choice.
