windows xp or vista
hobbit:
I was sticking to xp until a few months ago, when it became flakey on me, so I installed vista in the same box, as a dual boot system, so it could be used either way, some of the software I have dont like vista, so I can drop back to xp when required
I use vista about 80% of the time now, but still wont get rid of xp, I have enough hard drive space so worth keeping it on
I find that vista is very memory hungry, so upping the ram has helped no end
My daughter has a Dell Laptop, just a asic one, when she got it, it was loaded with vista, but needed a memory upgrade, done this and it behaved ok, but a couple of weeks later whan she was round again she wanted me to install xp instead, so she is back on there

I would say based on the fact you have just had a baby, just bought a Series 3 and are thinking of going self employed. Dont spend time whit Vista unless you really really need to find something else to do in the 35 seconds free time you must have in a day!

My pc is going to die soon I think. It takes 15 mins from pushing the button to start it up to opening Mozilla thunderbird and downloading emails. A tad slow. Even then I have to restart pc to make it all work properly.
If I can find cash I dont want to spend on another pc can I use the xp I have already onto a new pc or is it registered to the pc not the person?
also what is best to look for in a new pc as minimum stuff goes and in terms where I can cross refference to a pc site. :)
