Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
It kinda is. DRM crippling an OS is just as bad as buying your music and not being able to use it on another brand player.
I havent bought or installed Vista just because a few of my friends had problems with WGA bothering them every time they messed with their machine.
New stick of RAM, WGA. New video card, WGA.
I know alot of that has been fixed, but the assurance that its disabled for SP1 really shows me that Im doing the right thing waiting for SP1 before I buy it. It will be alot more stable and will work alot better.
Heck, I wouldnt have gotten XP pre-SP1 if it wasnt for ME being so unstable, but in this case, I have XP, and Im fine. I can wait till they work all the bugs out or even for the next gen of Windows operating system.
