When I buy a new computer, it will have windows 7 installed on it. I've never upgraded a new operating system and xp is just fine with me and I don't think a few bells and whistles is worth the hassle. I think I'm going to need to get a laptop this tax season anyway cause we need to make room and it will have it on there. What is IEEE? I'm a student online, how would that help me? Oh do you know what happened to vista? Is windows 7 the new vista or did they stop making it or something. I've seen computers at the library that had vista installed, but new computers at walmart have 7. ----- Original Message ----- From: "N3TS3cure" <[email protected]> To: "Computer Tech Support" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 7:58 PM Subject: [computer-tech-support: 7890] Re: motherboard replacement
Cool. Well I definitely recommend XP. Although if it can handle 7 then I would go with that. If you need access to the software, its easy to just set up an account with IEEE as a student. With that, you get access to MSDNAA, which is Microsoft's software distribution alliance for students. You can get XP and all that free. Plus Office and a bunch of other software.
