Just like when Windows XP was released, most people did not do an immediate upgrade. You can probably upgrade to Windows Vista with a lot few problems then with XP but I would still wait a few months.
There are quite a few reasons why you should wait.
The first reason is security. There will always be a few problems and bugs with the initial release of any software product. I know there have been a few beta versions and release candidates, but there will still be bugs.
The second reason is software compatibility. You may think all your software and hardware is compatible with Windows Vista, but the vendors may not have drivers or updates ready by the time Vista comes out. I would rather wait to get a valid driver from the manufacturer then a generic driver from Microsoft.
The third reason would be the learning curve. I know this isn't a very strong reason, but there will still be a learning curve with Windows Vista. If you are comfortable with Windows XP then Vista probably will be a welcome change, but for new users or users who are not experts with Windows XP, this could be a problem.
I would recommend trying Windows Vista out in a computer store first to make sure that you want to upgrade to the latest version of Windows. Windows Vista is a welcome update, but I am going to wait at least 3 months before I upgrade my computer because of possible security and software problems.Labels: A Road To Success |
