>Well, I could... Though I'm afraid to try running Vista under MS VPC on my current computer, considering the results I get from the "Vista Upgrade Advisor" which stated that I'd meet the requirements as long as I replaced a *few* components -- essentially everything in the case (only suprise that I got was it didn't outright laugh at me for even trying). I've already seen what it's like with Win2K under MS VPC on my computer -- and it wasn't pretty.


I see workstations priced around $399. that come installed with Vista.
Sure seems the simplest/cheapest "solution" to me.
