Ok, nothing to do with my current problem but: does Windows Vista run all windows xp games? Just in case I end up with a vista laptop.

mm, isn't having a buddy at MS the same as being in bed with devil? Well, you are dating Pev so... 
But thanks for the reply. I'll try and find a laptop with XP pro then. But if it really comes down to it I guess I'll go with Vista.

you're gonna have a hell of a time finding a new OEM computer that comes with anything but Vista. Even though Vista currently sucks. If you have the option to wait, I would tell you to wait until SP1 for Vista is released.

Since I'm leaving on Monday, waiting seems to be out of the question. Kinda.
Good new perhaps: I have a friend who has a 'shopping card' for a company that provides corporations with electronics. Not only are they cheaper, I can't imagine they all come with Vista already. But they probably won't be as kickass as the commercial laptops either. Will be a tossup.

how close together are your computers? A KVM switch might do the trick. One keyboard/mouse, two computers, no swapping wires.
