No more XP after June. Maybe I should get a new computer now before they stop selling and supporting it. VISTA Sucks! Any thoughts?

Buying a new PC sounds like a great idea, if you get one I suggest setting it up as a dual-boot.
Here are the steps to follow
1) Download and burn a GParted Live CD.
2) Download and burn a fresh Ubuntu Linux CD.
3) Insert the GParted CD into your drive and boot-up into GParted.
4) Partition the hard disk with a linux partition around 50% of your hard disk capacity.
5) Reboot the machine.
6) Insert the Ubuntu CD and boot-into the installer menu.
7) Select dual-boot setup, and continue with the installation.
8) Reboot the machine.
9) Observe you now have a boot--up menu which allows you to boot into Windows XP or Ubuntu!
