Russ,
From everything I've been reading, Vista has been such a bomb that some 85% of commercial people never upgraded from XP. I've been using Vista for almost two years now and I can't wait to upgrade. They are saying that Win 7 has it all over Vista, so based on that, I'm either going to buy a copy of Win 7, or buy a new machine with it installed. What's the difference? Well, I think Win 7 home upgrade is going for about $129, and a new machine without monitor is as low as $350. I'd hate to buy a copy of the new OS and have my hardware go south a few months later.
Anyway, I'd upgrade if I were you. I plan to soon.
As far as your keyboard, different keyboard have different sensitivity and different key travel. Yours could be more sensitive than the one you're use to. I would think that Fry's would take it back defective or not. You could always ask them to allow you to try out one before you buy another one.
