When & Why to Upgrade
Well, as you might have heard, Microsoft will be releasing Windows 7 this October. So is it better than Vista? To put it simply, YES. How much better? Let's see, it's faster (especially startup), more secure, more stable, and is less of a memory hog than Vista. It also comes with some pretty cool new features. PC Mag has a preliminary review if you're looking for more information.
So should you upgrade? If you're running XP on a 3 year old computer (or older), you'll probably need to buy a new computer. If you're running Vista on anything newer than 3 years, I'd say it's worth the upgrade. Another note for all you Windows XP users, this October might be the right time to upgrade to a new PC. Even though XP will be supported through 2014, if you wait that long to upgrade, you'll be transitioning from XP (which came out in 2001) to Windows 8 or 9, which will be a huge leap for some. I hope this has been somewhat helpful. Remember, if you have any questions, please free free to contact me via email at info@pcproindy.com.
Happy Computing
