I hope you realize O'Reilly also wrote a book, "Fixing Windows XP Annoyances." http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/windowsxpannoy/index.html
Also, Vista has very little to no resemblance of Windows ME. I can't help but think people who make this analogy haven't used both of them.
Well you do need internet access for that first time you activate the game. I'd assume most people buying their games live in an area where they can get dial-up for free anyway, so it's hardly an issue.
It is indeed very CPU dependant. My 2.5ghz p4 struggles with it a bit, maxing out at %100 quite often. I can live with it though, because it's so sexy and functional:).
If you have to have someone else build the computer for you, you'd probably be best off buying it from Dell anyway. Most people *gasp* WANT and NEED tech support!
Also, if you saved $700 you either got your parts wholesale or it was a very expensive computer (in conslusion, we don't care).
