Re: [Digital BW] Re: Vista v. XP??

2008-08-04 by Steve and Ann Taylor

I bought a refurbished Dell laptop with Vista on it. I didn't much care  
for it and could never get it to talk to my other computers on my home  
network. I finally loaded Kubuntu Linux it and it has been working great.

Also, of note, I maintain a couple web sites of local organizations, and  
when I review the site stats, the overwhelming majority of visitors are  
still running XP and IE6. I am not saying that that is smart, just that  
there still hasn't been a wholesale "upgrade" to Vista.

On my Windows computers, I still run Win2000. It is quite stable and does  
what I need on an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ and 1G of memory. For security, I run  
ZoneAlarm, Avast!, ThreatFire, and I use Opera for web browsing, all free  
programs. So far I have not seen any compelling reason to "upgrade" to  
either XP or Vista.
