Just spent 330 U.K pounds ($660 approx) on a 'bare bones' PC kit. Microsoft Vista, 2.0 Ghz Pentium dual core, 2 Gb Ram, 500 Gb Hard drive.
I was a little concerned about the compatibility of some programs as used with the old faithful XP for 4 years. Contrary to some scare mongers, it works very well, very similar to XP really.
If treated with care, a good firewall, anti virus and using sensible browser programs such as firefox, the latest microsoft operating system is probably the best in my oppinion.
I'm no expert obviously - just thought I would share my findings.
I have been using the same machine since 1999.My mate has went through about 8 machines in that time...the world must be full of computer scrap and I bet you it`s lying in some 3rd world country causing an enviromental disaster..
Ive had vista since may 2007 didn't like it at first lot of problems when it was first released,but now think its far superior to xp espesialy where security is concerned.While we're on the subject of PC's i was going to post the question has anyone ran a PC from a modified sine inverter [ is it safe ]
Off topic, but of interst - M/S Vista upgrade
