XP Media edition

I'm looking at the same PC. Would you be considering the Windows Media edition? Any big cons against the Media Edition vs. XP Pro?

Do We Need Vista or Do We Just Want it?

by tcanaday - 8/17/06 5:02 AM In reply to: Buy now or wait for Vista by AmericanCliche

As always the question must be asked, do we need Vista or do we just want it?

Is there something Vista can do that is a critical need not met by your Mac?

I won't switch to Vista so long as XP meets my needs and certainly I'll not switch until a Vista service pack 1 or 2 comes along.

If your current set-up has a monitor you can use on a PC, you should be able to buy a PC for $350 or so to meet your need for a Windows machine. Then, when Vista is really ready, buy a new PC with all the bells and whistles promised by Vista.

Vista is supposed to be better because it will be faster, with better graphics, and greater stability -- but isn't that what ''they'' told us XP would do?

Happy Computing~!

Why, what do you hope to gain?????
An OS (XP) that is an easy target for hackers and viruses and spyware???
Vista ( A rose by any other name would still have thorns). M$ dosen't know how to make and OS!! It takes them until SP1 or SP2 to get kinda working!!!!
If your not sure by a MAC Mini, then buy a copy of XP and dual boot it so you can compaire MAc OS X 10.4 to XP.
The Mac Mini will blow the that Dell thing away. John
