Is it a big deal to buy a new computer with XP now and not with Vista?
Ok I have been with the same computer with Windows 98 SE for like 8 years, I desperately need a new computer now because mine is obsolete, it has too many errors, and the new programs that are coming aren’t compatible with mine. I am a college student so my computer is very important to me.
I am planning on buying a new PC this summer, but now that Windows Vista came I don’t know if I should wait until people finally determine that Vista is a good OS to use with not so many errors etc, or don’t pay much attention to vista and just buy one with Windows XP.
Whats the big deal of buying one with Windows XP now? Should I do it?
I would highly recommend sticking with XP. I am an IT Technician and went through HXXX with customers who thought “they had to have XP when it came out”. I never recommend a new OS for at least a year, till they get the bugs out of it. As far as the proclaimed security benefits, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Vista was already hacked just after they released it to Corporations on Nov. 30, soooo… Also companies with all the big bucks are holding off simply due to what happened when XP came out. Not to mention, all current systems will be able to run Vista, and the ones that can, will cost more due to the hardware required.
And finally, if you do go out and buy a system that says Vista capable, do you know what that means? Simply it is capable, with the additional cost of more memory, correct video card etc.
Good luck, and don’t take my word for it, check out sites with “experienced” people participating.
