I installed Vista operating system onto my computer. I feel Vista is not userfriendly as Windows. Just read a piece of news that Microsoft will launch Windows 7 this year. Will that be easy to use?

I used to re-install XP to my Vista, it started to have problems after a few months. When switched back the problems were eliminated. As I am used to XP, it takes me quite a while to familiarise with Vista. With Vista you need at least 2GB RAM, otherwise it is quite slow. Wan

Griz, you think about Mac or Linux?

I have Ubuntu linux free distro on one of my computers. Compared to W it needs a little more work with addons but I kinda like it.
I have decided if I some day get myself into linux, I will change all my computers to it.

Buying a W-computer from a shop there are put many programs in it people really does not need. Linux, you can install the programs needed and nothing else. It is a well known truth that Linux computer is faster than W for the reason there are so many programs going on all time. Of course some of them can be blocked but most normal users are not able to.

Both are great, with a big BUT:

* Mac is really expensive when you think about having to re-invest in your software tools.

* Linux is wonderful, but doesn't have the tools I work with.

I'm hoping that when I buy my next computer in six months or so, that there will be alternatives. I don't expect the new Windows 7 to be it, so I am XP bound.
