What is the difference between Windows XP and Vista...Have XP and never used Vista. Is there a significant ..?

Question

difference. I am buying a laptop with vista and I have no idea what that is. I am familiar with past Windows so will this be an ok transition or am I in totally new territoy. Appreciate any feedback coz I might not get this laptop if Vista is complicated. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I have limited experience with Vista, have used XP for years. Vista seems more complicated and needs 1 GB of RAM just to operate. And I have friends who have had significant trouble when upgrading to Vista. If I were in the market for a new computer I would get one that's Vista compatible but runs on XP, I think it would run super fast. However, big box stores like Best Buy can't possible do this because they are controlled by greedy b******s. Find a small, local computer store and they can make it happen.

Answer 2

Vista is basically for business people and usually don't have a lot of memory. If you are planning to put games or downloads on you laptop, then stick with Windows XP.

Answer 3

It is complicated, everything takes longer, to get there and to do it, you will be wise to find one with XP.
