Microsoft Vista Or Not
Boy Do We Make It Simple!

By Mike Lipshultz

Hard to believe it has been over one year  since Microsoft brought Vista out to the public.   And the debate of using Vista or not is still as hot as can be.

Here at BizNet OnLine Magazine I have been “Playing” with Vista for some time now.  And like every other Editor/Writer that has played with it, I have been disappointed.

In addition to being disappointed I have been trying to figure out if and when we would write about it and if we would recommend it or not.  And now I know.  BizNet Online’s official recommendation is to Get It!  And To Not Get It!

I know, it is getting complicated and we said we would keep it simple.  So lets get as simple as it gets.

Are you getting all brand new computer equipment, or extremely “New” (no more then two years old) computer equipment?  And will you be running the newest versions of software on your computer(s)?  If so, Don’t think twice.  Get Vista.  You will be ahead of the game when Microsoft stops supporting XP (most likely around 2009 or 2010).  Yep it is that simple.  And an update to Vista is coming out any day now, and no it does not fix everything, but it fixes a lot of the issues.  The only other factor to consider….  I do not care what anyone tells you.  If you do not have a computer with a Minimum Of 2gig of memory on board.  Forget Vista.  You will not be happy.  Vista really needs that 2gig or more to run as it should.

OK, lets talk about XP… First if you are running anything older then XP… For god’s sake, update to it!   If your computer is so old and decrepit that it can’t run XP, then fill it with concrete and use it as a boat anchor!  Good God, You can get a used $50.00 computer the can more then handle XP!

Sorry about that…. I took a break and switched over to decaffe.

If you are happy with your current computer equipment or are looking to ad “new” computers into the mix with older computers or older equipment.  If you skip Vista and stay with XP for now, you will be a lot happier.  You see, the frustration most folks have had with Vista is really simple.  They either had less then 2gig of memory or were trying to run Vista with other older computers or other older computer equipment.

Yep, it is that simple.  Now you know.
