Should I wait to see if there will be a glitch in the system or assume all is well and go ahead and buy it? And my mom wants a computer with at least 2 gigahertz and 2 cd/cd-rom/dvd drives and with alot of memory for me. Possibly in the 200-600 $ range. Help!
Should we buy one now or wait?

I would buy one now but ask for XP, which is finally a mature technology. If you have a problem with XP there's tons of on line help. I hate to be a pessimist but based on previous experiences Vista will be riddled with problems for a while.
If you have an XP disk, you could get a new computer, format the drive and install XP on it instead. Download all the updates from the net and off you call. Install Vista at a later time. Voila!

Well I would just buy now you will have to wait like another year for service pack 2 for Vista(if you can wait that long). You will be able to upgrade from service pack 1 to service pack 2 when it comes out so just buy now. You might see PC prices going up when Vista is released.

I would steer clear of Vista until at least it's first service release.
Personally I am looking at installing OS X on my intel machine instead of Microsoft's privacy invading, resource hog of an OS. Yes, Windows Vista phones home to Microsoft twice a year to check validity. It's not what the OS is doing while it's checking validity, it's what Microsoft can make it do that scares me.
Good luck

Its best to get a custom built computer, then you know its ready for the future.
