I'll wait for Windows 7 before buying a new computer

I need a new computer. Badly. My old iMac, which I'm using to write this now, has seen better days. My Windows machines, strewn across the house, are old and tired. But I'm unwilling to buy a new computer today. It's not that I haven't seen machines that I really would like to have, or that I don't have a desire to build my own. But there's a single factor that's forcing me to wait: Windows 7.

That's a good point, though the upgrade program should save the need to wait, in some cases. And people who already have an OS they can install on the new PC don't need to wait, either. (Granted, I haven't tested upgrading, so I have no idea how well it works.)

Still, any excuse to postpone buying a PC is good. You'll always get something better if you wait a little longer.

He sounds like an idiot, if you ask me.
