I helped my neighbor last night choose and purchase a Windows Accer. Nice box, 1TB hard drive, 8gb ram, dual core, the whole bit. Even came with a wireless card. All for a whopping $600 at Fry's.
Setup was a breeze, done in 10 minutes (not including downloading updates which took another 10 minutes), everything works well, not a lot of 60 day crapware, overall I'm impressed with Windows 7. I'm not giving up on my Mac of course but the folks over at MS did, IMHO, a nice job on this OS.
We'll see how long the honeymoon lasts of course and I'm not sure about networking but I'd say it's a vast improvement over both XP and Vista.
