Is it worth it?

jmedina · 04-14-2008, 02:40 AM

I am currently running XP. I noticed that they are discontinuing it soon. I figured it would cost $95 for a upgrade to Vista. Plus it would cost me about $50 for a upgrade to 2 GB. Is it worth is? When should I switch to vista?

I wouldn't switch, Windows XP is going to have updates and support for at least a couple more years, just because they stop selling the OS doesn't mean that the updates will stop.

That is good to know. I'll hang on to XP for a few more years.
