| 787454 | 2009-06-30 10:07:00 | Dunno, I got a new PC some months ago. Maybe 3 or 4. I have XP. I just don't see a real reason to change the OS. I mean all my applications work. I am not even sure if I would upgrade and to spend the time again to redo my HDD. |

| 787455 | 2009-06-30 10:08:00 | Personally I think for a OS the price should be $150 - 180. Full version retail consumer home. | Nomad (952) | ||

| 787457 | 2009-06-30 10:48:00 | None really. Vista SP2 x64 is good enough for me. |

What are you prepared to pay to have the latest (and greatest)? cheers ruup For a Vista Upgrade, less than $100, especially as it is really just Vista how it should have been . I woul dbe willing to pay $150 for professional with XP compatibility mode . Vista has too many bugs, and microsoft has given up on it . It was a failure, not as bad as windows ME, but pretty bad . Where it is being offered in the USA for $US 50, works out to be less than $NZ100 . I believe the full retail pricing in the US, will be less than the current Vista pricing . NZ dollar is pretty strong at the moment, so the pricing here should be less, but I wouldn' be surprised if the full NZretail price will be around $400 |

| 787459 | 2009-06-30 10:51:00 | None really. Vista SP2 x64 is good enough for me. The thing is windows 7 is less bloated and runs faster than vista. First time they have released a new version that has less hardware requirements than it's predecessor. Therefore if you want a performance upgrade to your computer, installing 7 over vista will help. |

| 787460 | 2009-06-30 11:00:00 | I'll have a play with it later this week.....but if I have to shell out too much money to upgrade from my Vista Ultimate then I'm going to pass..... | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 787461 | 2009-06-30 11:08:00 | Yup Vista x64 isnt too bad, guess it depends how much ram you've got, on how good / bad it is. I'm using it at the mo with 6 GB. Had a few probs with a few programs, in the end I uninstalled them again. And its been fine. I cant afford Win7 anyway, since I'm not working. So, I'll pass on Win7 for now as well | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
