Dell PC... Upgrade From XP Home to XP Pro

Quote from jebara:

I dont think you will be wanting to use windows xp for another 5 years, new programs will come out for vista, and adoption will increase. Also vista's bugs are getting fixed, it will take time. Also i your computer will be slow eventually with new programs, and technology.

Might be true, but years ago, ('o4?) when having trouble with a new pc, with xp home, it was explained what it was supposed to be used for-the computer guy just said "oh, right-home is absolute bollocks, pro should work though". And it did!

Home always sucked, was my take.
As far as vista goes,
I dont know i'd want to use a operating system that's been widely "adopted" though, it doesnt sound right.:D

5 years from now almost all programs will still run on XP and may well run on a linux variant as well.

When my computer is slow (before actually) I will replace it ... and run XP and linux.

I have always turned off the XP eye candy so "Why would I want vista?" And don't think that prefetch would make me change (i'll just get a faster disk drive).
 
Just installed the 3244 XP SP3 beta.

Stable (like you'd expect of XP) and better than vista. :)

Bump.

There is only one for sale on eBay at this time, and you can't see the version/year.

These disks may be getting scarce....
