A relative in the market for a new computer, showed me a pretty good deal she was looking at and asked what I thought. Everyone in the family knows I am a total geek.
The machine came with Vista Basic installed. I advised her to upgrade to at least Vista Premium so she could run Aero, also a better video card and more RAM.
Then another email arrived saying she had heard Vista was buggy and perhaps XP was in order.
I am biased because I genuinely like Vista. I still have XP Pro machines, but as vendors supply new drivers for Vista, I find myself booting XP up less and less, even though it is a good solid OS.
We decided the best way to go was to show Vista in action, not just the eye candy which it has plently of.
A few hours on my Vista machine and she was sold. Not a technical post on Vista but a human story.
