Choosing an operating system is also part of buying a new custom computer.

Unfortunately XP has officially ended since January 2009. While there still are some copies available it is best to purchase the latest operating system so that you will be compatible with future software products.

Many people may say that Vista is rubbish, but they are usually the people who have barely tried it themselves. It’s  funny how self professed experts always seem to appear with so called “expert advice”  when you want to purchase new technology.

Vista is here to stay and the next phase of operating system will probably be Windows 7, which is remarkably very similar to Vista. So you might as well  get used to it. We have been using Vista since it was first released, and while there were some problems, as there was when XP was first released, we find Vista to be a very good operating system for our computers.

Unless you have older software which is not compatible with Vista then we thoroughly recommend Vista.
