MS is committed to XP support for at least five more years. Don't see any exciting new functionalities on the horizon that compells me to get a new computer or new OS. I might buy Vista in three years or so once they shake all the bugs out of it and I buy a New PC. But until then what is the point of buying Vista beyond trendiness?
Exactly. I expect to buy a new computer next year (hard drive limitations, larger monitor) and I'm sure it will be more powerful than my current one that works fine with Windows XP.
My question, asked elsewhere, will XP still be sold or will I be forced to take Vista and spend hours and hours learning a new operating system? The answer I got was to buy a copy of XP on Ebay. Does that mean I won't have a choice if I buy a new computer from a company like Dell or HP; I will be forced to buy one with Vista?
