I'm buying a new computer. Is there anything I should know about installing Windows Vista?

Question

I'm buying a computer this evening after work. I have always been pretty good at installing my own software and stuff, so I was going to install Windows Vista myself instead of having it done in the store and paying an extra 150 dollars or so.
I've heard it can be tricky, though. Is there anything I should know before trying it? Is it extremely difficult?

Any suggestions from someone who has installed it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It is usually already installed on store bought computers and it will probably cost you more to do it yourself. Buying the program and installing it is usually more costly.

Answer 2

dont do it. i have not heard nothing good about the program. all i have heard are bad things. that hackers have an easier way of getting information from your computer even if it is closed with microsoft visa. the windows are high tech,. no programmer that i have spoken to likes the product and refuses to installed it. just because something is brand new it does not necessary means that it is better than what has been on the market for the past 10 yrs.

First, its going to be tricky, because its you os (opperating system), and is very time consuming. Takes a lot of time! For all the confusion, and ease, just let them do it. Its worth the 150 dollars. (Most of the time, the 150 is for the program itself.)
