If you’re buying a new computer you don’t have much choice. Every major computer manufacturer is shipping their computers with Vista already installed. And if you’d like them to switch it to XP, they’ll tack on another cost to install it for you. So stick it out, you’ll be fine. Eventually.
But anything Microsoft puts on the shelf for us to gobble up won’t be ready for at least 6 months after they say it is. Something important to know is that Microsoft doesn’t make anything inside your computer. In most cases, each part of your computer is made by a different company. Microsoft hopes that all these different companies are ready for Vista like Microsoft is. If they’re not, you have a problem. Not them, you.
On the other hand, the problems people are facing today with Vista will be gone in time. Windows updates are being sent out constantly to all the hungry Vista chics, throwing fixes and patches at all the issues people are experiencing. And one by one, every hiccup will be calmed. Besides, there’s no avoiding Vista altogether. Even we’ll be running it sooner or later.
But if you can wait, then we suggest you do. In our opinion, Windows XP is a great operating system. And that’s because it’s been around long enough to handle anything we throw at it. If you don’t have problems with your computer, consider yourself lucky! Try to hang on to that state as long as you can!
