| 504774 | 2006-12-07 01:11:00 | Hey all. Looking to upgrade my PC in the next few weeks, courtesy of Quay Computers in Welly, or even do something totally pointless and irrational and buy a Tosh laptop through DSE.... I am reading a lot of "Vista Compliant" and "Vista Upgrade".....now I know what Vista will be, but before XP was released I don't recall reading such things. Visa is the new OS, right? When released, you'll buy it and bang a DVD in and it installs.....right? So what's the big deal about PC's needing to be compliant and upgradeable? And why is there a banner at the top of this page asking if I'm Vista ready??...and I go back to click on it...and it doesn't come back :annoyed: As always, grateful for any advice. Cheers TM |

| 504775 | 2006-12-07 01:15:00 | If you want to use all the features of Vista, expect to pay a large amount of money for a capable machine. Windows XP will be fine. And when you have had enough of it there should be some really user-friendly Linux OS distro's (e.g. ubuntu) to move to later. Therefore forget about VISTA. I am. |

| 504776 | 2006-12-07 01:16:00 | Because although intallation is through a disc, you still need to have a computer or laptop to meet the minimum specifications of Vista. Vista is the new Microsoft OS and to use all its capacities and effects (Aero) , you will need a decent computer and graphics card to do so. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 504777 | 2006-12-07 01:26:00 | And some applications will need to be upgraded to be compatable with Vista . IIRC there was a Vista compatability checker application on last months PC World CD . |

| 504778 | 2006-12-07 01:27:00 | so.......it's not so much compliance than......compatability? Compliance infers an agreement to a process or policy.....what you people have said seems to be different to this.... Guess that fits in with the "upgrade" comments I've seen. Cheers T PS: Sorry Beetle for using your dots :eek: |
