Little advice for HP, Fergie and Microsoft

I bought an HP with Vista. The motherboard has fried twice. The ports, the places plug shit into always breaks. Right now the laptop is sitting in my basement unable to be charged because the stupid powercord won't connect because of the week ass plugin. The place where the screen connects to the base is coming apart. I have lost two months of working time sending it in to get fixed. So that tells you what you need to know about HP... not to vista. Everytime I use Vista I wish and try to delete a file or a photo or a video it is a crap shoot if it will work. It is a nightmare using Vista. I think Vista was the best thing that ever happened to Apple because after using Vista I will likely never buy another PC in my life again. For a guy like me that likes to do video windows movie maker is one of the worst interfaces because most video files formats cameras default to don't work with windows movie maker. Sometimes even my paint won't save files. I have do save twice. Most industrial sites I ask if Vista is an option they start to laugh because the admin privledges make it a difficult for most hardcore important industrial softeware to work with. Spend the extra money on an apple.. it is worth the stress...
