For all those believing that windows xp is no more. Forget it..... Windows xp production has been extended to June of this year.... So James Thorton good job on leaving false information... And those of you thinking on upgrading to vista.... DON'T.... Windows Vista (c) doggs down a computer... It also has many issues including compatibility with certian systems... For a bit of advice wait till the end of this year when Windows 7 (c) is relased.... I tested the Beta (or testing version) And even in its testing stage it is 100% better then Windows Vista (c). I am a computer repair Technician and just take the advice to keep windows xp and only upgrade to windows 7 if you reall want to.... NEVER GO TO WINDOWS VISTA (C). We have seen to many computers running Vista come into the shop for repairs because of problems created by the OS (operating system). It may have a higher protection of security but that does not make up for all the other problems with the OS... Windows 7 (C) unlike Windows Vista (C) is not time driven or going to be set on the shelves until it is completely finished. Sure there may be some small buggs but not like Windows Vista having thousands of problems with the first release. Windows 7 will be a great investment for anyone wanting to keep up with technology.
