I have a new computer: a Sony Vaio with Windows 7 to replace my old bulky HP pavillion dv9k. Windows 7 is nice; there aren't any of the hang-ups that Vista has (like how Vista had a nasty habit of eating half my memory, so running Painter would put my poor HP on life support).
I also have a new paint in my palette, for those of you who keep up with that sort of thing (Pyrolle Red PR254 replaces Cadmium Scarlet PR108; I am using Winsor & Newton Winsor Red, which is inert wet-into-wet, as opposed to many other brands which are more active and more opaque). I am still looking for a suitable replacement for Cadmium Orange, PO20.
Stay classy, folks.

My dad's Toshiba runs just fine on Vista, it's a bit slow, but that's also probably because my dad doesn't really clean out his computer either. It ends up getting bogged down by all the junk until it gets reformatted which can almost be never. AKA, it ran just fine with Vista when it was new. I also don't trust HP for laptops or computers.
I'll probably upgrade to Windows 7 when I actually have money to spend. I held off on Vista because I didn't think it was necessary, but XP is going to start losing support for software. They're already losing support for hardware now.
