Unless you're going to buy a Mac. But in the Windows world, there's a big change coming with the release of Windows Vista early next year. Walt Mossberg discusses the issue, and provides great guidance if you just have to buy a computer now anyway, in his Fall Buyer's Guide:
It's time for my annual fall computer buyer's guide, and this year my message is a little unusual. If you're thinking of acquiring or giving a new Windows desktop or laptop computer this holiday season, don't do it. I suggest that, if at all possible, you wait around 90 days and get that new Windows machine in February.
