To Vista or not to Vista...

[ty42]

whatever it is, please make sure you have 2G RAM to make it worth your money.

Where did you find (legit) WinXP Professional for $86?

2GB RAM and 640GB Hard Drive, I hope that it will run Vista!

XP Pro is $86 at http://www.clearancesoftwareoutlet.com/.

I suggest you reconsider that source. Read the product description REALLY, REALLY carefully. Does it include a COA? Nope. No COA, no valid license to use the software.

Oh yes, they include a "product key," which they may very well have printed up themselves after keygen'ing it I've seen folks around here who got burned that way... better stick with the $139 version from Newegg.

To Vista or NOT to Vista, but there is only Vista to vote ?
Misconception.

Interesting thought on the website, I was asking around and have yet to learn why it is so cheap!

I am debating between XP or to get XP with a free upgrade to Vista. There is a non Vista choice.

MS can't last forever, nothing does this technical.

ALOHA

I can't think of a technology firm less likely to go belly up or get bought out in the next decade than MS.
