Vista isn't a terrible OS as long as you have a PC powerful enough to run it
Compared to other versions of Windows it certainly is resource hog in every way... Windows versions have always had a sort of tick-tock cycle of being awesome or crap...
95 - Not that great
98 - Awesome
ME - Crap
XP - Awesome
Vista - Crap
7 - Awesome
8 - Not that great
So hopefully 9 will be somewhat better
I've gotten used to the little annoyances that 8 brought along, though for some reason 8.1 seems to be even more annoying in some ways :\ In any case, it's irrelevant if you want a Mac 
For reference;
SSD = Solid State Drive (no moving parts)
HDD = Hard Disk Drive
NAS = Network Attached Storage
NTFS = New Technology File System - a type of drive format which is default on all Windows machines since XP I believe
Nick, I'm happy to try and translate any techno-babble if you ever want... though I'm off for 2 weeks now... so, yeah... bad timing... oops...
