It comes with windows vista home premium and so far is so good. There are a few glitches in Vista, one of which is completely awesome, the other is not so good.

The first one is your browser window will spaz out when you first open it (random times) and you have to refresh to page or click a link to access a new page in order to make it stop.

The second is that sometimes it will open an application then quit as soon as you open a file. This sucks.

I have Vista Home Premium, I am using it right now, I dont get any of those errors :S

IMO You got gipped on that PC. You could get one for much cheaper I'm sure.

[MicrotechXP]

Yup...you could have bought a Sony for the same price and it would have been BETTER! ;)

But congrats anyways.

I'm not sure if it was that exact PC. I bought it at the store and was just looking for an online link to give you an idea of what I got. 2 GIGs RAM, 5 GIG hard drive, lightning fast and it was same price as what was on the website.

Well, I dunno if sony would be any better but it sure would be cheaper.

[Chris Z]

wtf? 5 GIG hard drive? you could only store like 2 vistas on there..that's not very big at all

[Joker Boy]

I think 5... I'm gonna check but I'm pretty sure it's five.
Edit:
oh lol 320 GIGs hard drive 5 GIGs RAM

lol

Wow PCI-E.. that'll pay off in the long run! Now that I see all of your specs, $1,300 isn't too bad for something high end like that.. just hope it has a lot of fans!

[Joker Boy]

lol u got that right. 5 fans total: 1 in front (where that grid thingy with the blue light is in the picture) 2 in the back, 2 against the right wall blowing upwards. With summer coming around, it ought to keep cool!

[Zenax]

You got paid all that for web design? That is pretty sweet. And Also nice Machine!
