| 861795 | 2010-02-27 00:29:00 | One thing I will say is that home / smaller businesses are quite a bit diff to corporates. I assume many corporates are still on WinXP, a few might be on Win2k or Windows 2003 Workstation. I've only used up to XP, simply because it meets my needs. I struggle with Win7 demo that I had for a day, I didn't test drive it more .. cos it was just mucking around and in my case I had to swap the HDD out to be doubling sure. I've used Vista even less. Just at the shops :D It takes more than a day to get used to - but not much more. I've never met anyone who's used Win7 and not loved it. |

| 861796 | 2010-02-27 01:13:00 | thewinforums.com There, I said it. I didn't say it was better. I said XP meet my needs so I didn't spend money on further OS. I don't play games, Photoshop works ok for my photography club, that's editing a few images a month for group discussion (not your very best) and a few enlargements per year. If I had a dual core with 2GB I probably be equally as happy. Every day I pretty much only surf the web, check my Outlook mail and do a bit of MS Office. FWIW I'm doing a course in IT, a time for a change. The course is fully based on XP, one reason I was told - most orgs use that. On the server side - MS Windows Server 2003. |

| 861797 | 2010-02-27 01:37:00 | Ah, I'd agree with you there. I only suggest people upgrade when they are upgrading or buying a new PC. Save the effort of setting everything up etc, till it's necessary anyway. The important thing is if you're gonna buy a new PC, make damn sure it has 7, preferably x64. |

| 861800 | 2010-02-27 06:22:00 | Hey guys, As most of you know I'm in the business of computer repairs. I am also a student, and the workload coming in this year will be too much for me to do myself alongside uni. (Note, this post was OK'd by Jen - thanks Jen.) So I am looking for someone in Wellington (the closer to the city the better, Petone/Tawa is the furthest out that could work) who is very good at diagnosing and fixing computer problems, good at dealing with customers (can be friendly, professional etc), and has a car. The expected workload should be about 7-10 hours per week, though this is very varied and a minimum workload will not be guaranteed. It is likely to increase gradually through the year but you are not required to work more than an agreed level. This position will start immediately. Job ad follows: If you think you're up to the job, e-mail george at dewar dot co dot nz or call 04 831 1077 or 027 344 0353.Hope you're offering 80+ grand, pro rata, for the requirements you want. |
