I don't know that I would run out and upgrade an XP machine unless that machine was purchased in the last year or two (maybe). XP was released in 2001 - oblique Oct 22, 06:58 4
- oh sure on older machines. I just bough my pc 3 months ago and avoided Vista because of it's problems - decline Oct 22, 07:01 3
  - You can't upgrade from XP to 7. It would have to be a reinstall -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 07:02 2
    - hmm. that's a bit more complicated, but i don't really have much on that pc yet. Thanks - decline Oct 22, 07:07 1
      - I guess technically you could find an upgrade disk to Vista and then upgrade to 7 from there but that seems...problematic -- nm - oblique Oct 22, 07:08
FWIW, Who should and who shouldn't upgrade, from PC Mag. -- (link) - mara Oct 22, 06:54 4
- For the basic consumer it basically comes down to: Get it when you get a new computer. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 06:56 3
  - Yeah - I've never gotten the point of upgrading. I figure when I get a new computer, it'll have the new OS. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 07:03 1
    - I think the upgrade option is really for those of us who build our own computers or the enthusiasts who must have the latest. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 07:08
  - That's pretty much going to be my approach. - znufrii Oct 22, 07:00
