Hi all
My laptop is just about to die (battery now not recognised by computer, power cable had a dodgy connection, and I only replaced it 6 months ago, also had to upgrade RAM etc, so this old computer has cost me a fortune already!), so rather than continuing to replace bits and pieces I want to get a new laptop.
I have heard such negative things about Vista, and was thinking if I could get a downgradable to Windows XP model, I might go with that.
My questions are:
1) Is Microsoft not going to be providing updates etc for XP computers?
2)is Vista any more usable now than when it was first released? Or is it still terrible?
3)Has anyone done the downgrade to Windows XP, and has it been difficult to do (dual Vista/XP on the new computer, with downgrade to XP)
Thanks for opinions
Nicola
