Windows Vista released
Jan 30
Today is the day when you can go to the store and buy your own copy of Windows Vista, the new operating system from Microsoft, against my wish I will probably get my copy too just to help you out in case you have questions but honestly, I don’t want to upgrade, at least not yet. When Windows XP came out, there were many security concerns because flaws were discovered that allowed hackers to attack your system.
It is the same story all over again, they release an operating system, people rush and install it, to find out that they are being used to find the bugs, errors and security flaws, then the first patch will be released and that’s when you upgrade…not a minute before that.
A few things to consider
Windows Vista is the new version in the family of operating systems, it was released last year to corporate users and today it gets released to the general public. The main question probably is: “Is Windows Vista for you?“. First you have to consider the following:
- New operating systems always have errors.
- Windows Vista is an expensive operating system. ($299 – $499)
- Not all computers will be able to handle the graphics for Vista.
and my favorite:
- If you really want to upgrade, I recommend you buy an OEM version of Windows Vista!
