Jupiter said:You already know the answer since this has come up before many times
with you as a major participant.
Now this makes one wonder what is your real motive for your post since
you have already seen the answers many times.
But a brief summary.
Only the computer owner can determine if upgrading is necessary.
Only upgrade if there is some expected benefit.
Benefits such as the new security.
New hardware that requires a new OS
New software that requires a new OS.
Work requirements.
Etc.
Just because there is a new operating system in itself is insufficient
reason to upgrade.
That applies to all operating systems from any source including your
current favorite Ubuntu.
Obviously a vista upgrade is not for you in your situation, but that is
only you.
Do you also ask about Linux upgrades repeatedly on the Linux newsgroups?
If yes, what do they say?
If no, why do you continually bring it up here for an OS you do not like
and not in a forum for an OS you like since the information will be more
relevant to you?
Um, I plan to buy Vista for gaming when it's ready for Prime Time. I am
researching it and others besides myself may want to know the answer to
this question, which, I might add, you've answered beautifully and are
the only one who has.
