^ I agree mate - I bought a very cheap Toshiba laptop from the US which has Vista Basic on. Rather than upgrade to Premium (about $100/£50) I found a Sidebar that works fine and use 'Visual Task Tips' to provide the 'Aero experience'.

To be honest I'm still tempted to put 2000 (my fave OS from my old P3 laptop) or XP on it and take the Vista off and see how it does. To me Vista is a very memory and processor hog - which is uneccesary as it does nothing special or breathtaking.
