Subject: Re: buying a new computer. Vista Question? by bogus on 2008/10/18 16:08:37 I am of this mindset... know your customer. If you are working in an environment where compatiblity is required, go with what they are using. I will almost guarentee that corporate America is still exclusively using XP. The 99.00 surcharge is because MS has stopped selling XP. So whatever they got is whatever they got - just be sure to get the XP discs, too. They are with the computer. Don't let them take them, because at some point, you will want the license. I use both, actually. My laptop is Vista, and it seems ok. My desktop is still XP. I do have Vista Ultimate that I might install on the desktop one day, but I have some older components that I know won't run on Vista, and I ain't in the mood to give them up. |
