What operating systems do you prefer?

Microsoft Windows XP (598 laptops, starting at $75.59) The previous-generation of Windows is still sold on current laptops because it's a stable, functional OS that requires fewer resources than Windows Vista.
Microsoft Windows Vista (3044 laptops, starting at $279.99) Microsoft's latest operating system adds some new bells, whistles, and functionality, but it can be a drain on system resources.
Windows Vista Home Basic (339 laptops, starting at $379.99) The least-expensive version doesn't include the fancy Aero graphics interface but requires less-powerful hardware to operate.
Windows Vista Home Premium (1804 laptops, starting at $399.99) Adds Windows multimedia apps, the Media Center shell (for browsing music, photos, and video with a remote control), and the Aero graphics interface.
Windows Vista Business (827 laptops, starting at $488.00) Includes security features not found on either Home version of Vista.
Windows Vista Ultimate (51 laptops, starting at $829.99) Combines the multimedia features of the home versions with the added security features of the business version.
Any version of Vista is fine (3028 laptops, starting at $279.99)
Apple Mac OS X (14 laptops, starting at $969.00) The operating system offered on all Macs. If you are considering a Mac, include this choice.
Other (80 laptops, starting at $239.95)

Video: Dell Inspiron 531s

The Dell Inspiron 531, the company's newest, small-scale Windows desktop, may not offer the most bang for the buck, but it does offer more options than the competition.The new Inspiron 531S is the slimmed-down desktop we've been waiting for from Dell. By finally offering a wireless networking adapter option, Dell lets this small PC preserve the tidy profile lacking in its past attempts at the category. Our $659 config, while a decent enough performer, doesn't distance itself from its lower-priced competition as much as we'd like. What's probably most important is that in its specific category, Dell's new Inspiron offers more flexibility than HP's SlimLine. Of the systems in its class, then, the Inspiron 531S is the model we'd pick. For budget-priced PCs in general, you can get more for your money from other vendors.
