AND RECOMMENDATIONS</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>By now, you probably
know that Microsoft released Windows 7 on October 22<SUP>nd</SUP>. This latest
version of the operating system is said to be more lightweight and responsive
than Windows Vista or even Windows XP. We have used Windows 7 for testing since
earlier this year and, for the most part, the product has lived up to the
promises. However, this does not mean that everyone needs to upgrade right away.
</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>Listed below are a
few common scenarios and a recommendation for each:</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>-If you have a PC
running Windows XP and it is serving your needs, there is no reason to upgrade.
Microsoft will continue to support XP for at least five more years. This means
that you will continue to receive security updates as needed until that
time.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>-If you have a PC
running Windows Vista and you have had no problems, there is no reason to
upgrade. Windows 7 has a slightly different look, but the feature set is not
remarkably different in terms of everyday use.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>-If you have a PC
running Windows Vista and it has been slow or experienced compatibility issues
with the software you use, it may be time to upgrade to Windows 7. Vista became
infamous as a “resource hog”, a problem that Microsoft claims to have eliminated
with Windows 7, along with many software incompatibility issues.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>-If you are in the
market for a new PC, definitely buy one with Windows 7 installed. Some stores
(but not many) will still have Vista machines on their shelves; please do NOT be
tempted to save a little money by buying one of these surplus PCs.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>A note on buying a
Windows 7 PC: make sure it has at least 2 GB of RAM installed. This is pretty
much the minimum these days, but occasionally PCs with only 1GB show up in
smaller retail chains.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT
size=4> <o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>A note on upgrading
to Windows 7: make sure you have all of your important files backed up prior to
any major upgrade. Although the upgrade from Vista to 7 is all but painless
things can still go horribly wrong.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
