I am ready (financially) to buy a new notebook. I use my current one for work and school and carry it around with me lot. It is slowing down a lot because I run Adobe and Macromedia software at the same time. Now a new notebook that had a dual core processor would be of benefit, and those are out allready. My question is should I wait for the release of Windows Vista. A notebook that will come out with Windows Vista preinstalled. Would Vista help the system run better?

Save yourself the cost of having to buy Vista and wait until it comes out.Vista is currently out in beta form. My husband and I put a copy of it on another hard drive to test, It's really cool and has a lot more features than XP, but yet is still as simple to use. If i were you, I would wait until they come out with it already installed and that way you will know you have all the correct drivers. It should be launched sometime before Christmas, so I would wait. When you are looking for computers, make sure the computer you get is going to do what you need at time of sale. Good Luck!

If you really need that notebook and can't wait another 3 months, then go buy a new notebook right now. But if you can wait until Q1 2007 for Windows Vista, then wait for it. It will save you the cost of upgrade to Windows Vista from Windows XP.

Depends on how badly you need that notebook.. Since Vista is delayed, (aren't all windows releases?,) you should go ahead and get a notebook that is Vista compatible and upgrade when Vista finally does make it.
