My DH needs a new desktop very soon. Is it worthwhile to wait for the post Vista OS to come out?

What specs are now middle of the road? Not cutting edge, just not going to be outdated in 18 months. His 5-10 year old machine is so slow and cannot handle the newer programs very well, it bogs down and is frustrating to work with. He uses mainly proprietary financial software…can he go Apple or is that to difficult in non-creative businesses?

What would the experts recommend?
