Is it worth upgrading to windows vista... i dont know much about computers
but i do have a new one and i am a gamer.... my parents dont want to upgrade
because they think it will mes up my computer so do any of you have any
problems with it?
Although I have no problems with Vista, and generally like it, my view
is that you're going about this backward. A change of operating system
should be driven by need, not just because there is a new version
available. Are you having a problem with Windows XP that you expect
Vista to solve? Do you have or expect to get new hardware or software
that is supported in Vista, but not in XP? Is there some new feature
in Vista that you need or yearn for? Does your job require you have
skills in Vista? Are you a computer hobbyist who enjoys playing with
whatever is newest?
If the answer to one or more of those questions is yes (and your
hardware is adequate for Vista), then you should get Vista. Otherwise
most people should stick with what they have. There is *always* a
learning curve and a potential for problems when you take a step as
big as this one, regardless of how wonderful whatever you're
contemplating moving to is. Sooner or later you'll have to upgrade (to
Vista or its successor) because you'll want support for hardware or
software that you can't get in XP, but don't rush it.
On the other hand, if you were contemplating buying a new computer, I
would definitely recommend getting it with Vista.
