Vista days already numbered, windows 7 already talked about
Microsoft’s most controversial operating system ever has been Windows Vista, seemingly suffering from more bugs than a cockroach farm. Its been plagued by poor performance, incompatible software, missing hardware drivers and more issues. Microsoft are set to release its Service Pack 1 for Vista in a hope to straighten out the bugs
Whispers about the next version, currently codenamed Windows 7, have started growing a bit louder. Computer experts certainly suggest that if you are happy with your Windows XP computer, there is no reason to race out and update.
Many businesses have loaded XP instead onto new computers originally pre-loaded with Vista just to maintain their ‘standard operating environments’, most of which in the world of business are years behind what cutting edge consumers would use.
However, be warned if you buy a new computer will get a vista machine. Although some providers are still making machines with Windows XP available but these are far and few between.
