Is Vista Right for You?
There are only two reasons to upgrade. One is if XP is giving you trouble. The other? If you buy a new PC with Vista on it. I have to upgrade in order to keep working for PC World; otherwise, I wouldn’t. (And actually, I’m not upgrading my production PC.) I mean it when I say upgrading is overrated. I get Intuit upgrades for free and I’m still using QuickBooks 2000; my wife’s using Quicken 1999. Are you still on the fence about a Vista upgrade? I have something for you try while you’re pondering. Microsoft’s Vista Upgrade Advisor tells you which of your programs and drivers won’t work in Vista. The tool is handy, revealing, and in a typical Microsoft fashion, almost useless. When I ran the program, it came as no surprise that I had hardware inadequacies. If I wanted the fancy video features of Windows Aero, I’d need to get a new graphics card. But I was blown away when I learned that I’d need a new sound card, too. My Voyetra Turtle Beach wouldn’t work with Vista.
