New Still a combo of warp and windows
Windows for Counterstrike.

Been strongly considering linux for this laptop, but haven't gone for it yet.

Next machine will probably be a mac. With Vista and the new drm junk, PCs are going down the tubes. Only possible plus is that older PC hardware will prolly get to junk prices pretty quick.

If Windows finally starts to crater noticeably, I predict Apple will provide a version of OSX+n that will run on the hardware that Vista won't run on. This will keep that older hardware in use.

True, Apple makes money selling hardware, so it would seem they don't have any incentive to support these old junkers. But they want prefer selling high-end, high-margin kit. Getting cheap bastards -- and younger users -- used to using a Mac will prime the upgrade pipeline.

Besides that, it's not like PC hardware doesn't hit junk prices within a year-and-a-half already.
