Vista or Stick

With the recent release of Windows Vista, you might be tempted upgrade to the latest and possibly one of their best to date. There are different trends of thought on this. Some prefer to wait until the release of the first service pack to ensure a more stable version is available whilst others jump in with both feet. I think for the novices out there it is best to wait for the service pack as you may spend time trying to resolve issues that are beyond you but if you have a good working knowledge why not consider a dual boot system and have the best of both worlds.

An important Step before you rush out to buy a copy, make sure you take a look at the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. This page has a tool which you can download and use to analyze your system to see if it is capable of running Vista. But it can only be used as a guide and you might want to consider some additional homework such as what type of Software you wish to run etc.
