Message: [QUOTE="Poprivet, post: 7062983"] At the same time there is NO reason you HAVE to do those upgrades. Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is silly. Doing it blindly is even worse. You also have zilch of any proof for your libelous allegation here, even if it was true. That is completely contrary and opposite to your previous comments. First you post a conspiracy theory, they say you're not "into" it, and then add support for the first one. HUH? Are you even listening to yourself? Soo, don't run Vista. You're still free to make that choice last I knew. And it'll hold true for several more years to come. You're obviously being myopic and don't care; no big deal here. No thanks, I'll stay with XP as long as I can Well you'd better start now unless you're a simple user who does nothing special with his system, in which case you could probably afford to wait a few months. But to get up to speed on Linux, you're going to have to climb a fairly steep learning curve. Linux can give you the basics if that's all you need, but anyone who uses any programs/equipment of any complexity is in for some rude surprises unless the prepare themselves. Too many people think Linux is just a free version of the same thing windows is; and the truth is, there is little comparison. In the hands of an experienced and learned person Linux can do phenominal things. In the hands of a newbie strictly-user person, it's a royal pain with new surprises always cropping up. Before you switch, at least make sure there are drivers available for all of your applications and equipment and peripherals; they don't all come with the Linux distro; in fact, few do except for the most popular ones - a la Microsoft stuff. So, I'd suggest you get started now so you won't end up a liar later. Pop` [/QUOTE]
