Answer 2

Yes read the article mentioned above.
In brief, XP works and Vista does not - at least not yet - and the advantages don't make the investment worth while. Maybe in a year or two when they clean up their software and make it usable you might want to try it for the looks.........or you can buy a Mac which has had that type of look for a long time now. By the way if you buy a Mac you can both their OS X and Windows. That's my next computer.

Answer 3

You should read this article from Forbes Magazine about Vista and why no one with any technical knowledge or understanding of the operating system will upgrade to it.

That should answer most of your questions.

Answer 4

properly the cons of a working laptop or pc are this is services to crashing (as you have got here across), locking up, and macs don't get viruses. i've got had my mac for 2 and a nil.5 years and this is locked up as quickly as. My pc with abode windows used to fasten up actually another time I used word. the educational curve for mac is relatively steep, meaning it would not take very lots time to get soft with it.
