• Yeah! Windows Vista must look great!
• I can surely find a Vista theme and my Windows XP will look just as great.
• There is not much it can give me, except for a better look and a slower system.
• Regarding security on the Internet, upgrading Internet Explorer 6 to 7, or just dropping it in favor of Mozilla Firefox would be more than enough.
• Regarding viruses and malware, you always end up depending on programs from third parties.
• Regarding security in general, if adequately configured, Windows XP can be secure enough.
• If you really want a secure system, go with a flavor of Linux/UNIX.
• And if you really want a beautiful and easy to use computer AND operating system, buy a Mac with MacOS X.
• All the people I know that got Vista had it preinstalled in their brand new laptops, so it’s obvious I need a new PC to run it.
• The new PC must be top of the line, expensive (lots of memory and a really fast processor).
• There are too many versions and no one really knows what the differences between them are. Should I choose Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise or Ultimate? Should I choose the 32bit or 64bit version?
