I find the OEM version of windows work a lot better than the customized windows that comes with HP, Dell, etc. I had a desktop with the OEM full install cd and it ran well had hardly any problems, except for video drivers once in a while.
@ the guy who said Mac hardware works better together, thats not really true. Apple uses intel and nvidia just like windows based pcs. If you build your own computer, there is a whole barrage of hardware to choose from. You just have to be knowledgeable about what goes together and buy the best quality you can afford.
With apple your paying like $1200 for the operating system and $800 for hardware and for some fine polished design. I've thought of getting a mac laptop as I like to try new operating systems. But its ridicules how they charge for $999 bucks for the basic macbook with some old core 2 duo processor from some basement box and a small 13" screen. Have spend like $2000 just to get a mid grade intel i5 processor, what the heck lol.
