Status: offline 		I agree there as have been running NAV for about 4 years, if you aint computer savvy before you get it you will be after a year! I think with Windows security being implemented especially with Vista it may soon negate the need for massive protection systems like NAV, basically i think whatever works for you stick with it.

Status: offline 		the most popular feedback on VIsta is that it needs to go back to the drawning board and get the bugs worked out of it.

I have managed to twice destroy the power cord on my ibook (both times totally my fault) after my warranty ran out and they have replaced it without any issue both times, free of charge. I didnt even pay for postage. The warranty is good for three years and Ive already gotten my money back in parts.

Status: offline 		I think alot of problems with upgarding start when people dont listen, Vista is a rather large interface and require alot more Ram & updated videocard in order to run smoothly, people just go out and whack in the new O/S and wonder why error messages pop up all the time, abit like when people with win 2000 & win 98 tried to install XP and consequently booted out all there existing hardware drivers! I agree with Fargle in that good old Bill Gates knows that when he launches a new O/S he will sell a whole lotta hardware cos users in general dont wish to know the ins and outs of computers and so just buy a new one!

Status: offline 		It isd always the case that when a new Microsoft OS comes out there are bugs, and a shortage of stable drivers for some hardware.  My clients see the ads and they are all asking me about Vista.  I tell them to wait at least till Service Pack 1 comes out, preferably till its time to do a major replacement of machines.  If they need one or two machines before then, XP is still a more stable choice and will run better on low end hardware.

Service Pack 1 is generally about 6-12 months after the initial release.

Dell always offers some machines with the old OS when the new one comes out, for their business customers who don't want to rush into a new OS, or don't want to mix in a different platform without fully testing it first.  Often they can be obtained with upgrade certificates.

OTOH, if you are about to buy a SOTA hot machine anyway, and like to experiment with your PC, you might as well jump in with both feet and get Vista.  Be prepared for a bumpy start.  And be sure your favorite apps will run on it.

Thank god I am a nazi about back ups and thank god a friend has a brand new Mac laptop we are limping around with. Still the man hours wasted due to this little computer "error" sucks.

Our IT department beta tested on several platforms and I'm still running RC2 and it's as stable as XP pro was.
