You have to admire the effort Dell put into the new line of 'Studio' PCs. The specs are all there: high def screens, Core2 Duo chips, tons of memory, even an optional blu-ray drive. For the most part, the new models stack up very well with the MacBook Pro,
Then they went and screwed the whole thing up with Vista.
Yes, the downfall of any would-be Mac killer: Windows. For all the bells and whistles and superior hardware features, the so-called "creative" PCs still fail to win over the artists, design professionals and hipsters that have long been Apple's bread and butter because they all run Windows. That clunky, do-everything OS that just seems to get worse every time they try to make it better.
Dell at least is making an attempt to make Vista suck a little less. The company rolled out the "Dell Dock," an on-screen semi-translucent par in which desktop icons and frequently-used applications can be placed. it's also known as "a lawsuit waiting to happen."
