Vista??? Is it worth getting?

nailparlour · 03-05-2007, 07:45 PM

I was thinking of getting Vista as I have windows XP but Ive lost my original disc.
Dont know if its worth getting vista or another XP.

Any help and advice.

I agree. Might as well spend some money on something new, then get somethin from way back. Or..something like that. I dunno what I'm tryin to say.

If you have to buy one of the other, I would say go with Vista. XP will only be supported for a little while longer.

I actually think that alot of companies arent even making new drivers for XP, at least it seems that Dell isnt...

Microsoft will continue to support Windows 2000, XP and of course VISTA - they will not support Windows 3.1 05/98/98SE/ME any longer!

Meaning, go with Vista if you intend to upgrade your hardware with the latest in technology!
