More customization than 7, especially 8 and I use my Vista PC mostly for photo, video and recorded tv storage and editing. Only Vista and XP would do that. And I also have Windows 7 or 8 at work, and things take forever to load… even for a stupid calculator it can take around 10 seconds. It works fine and I only use it for very limited applications taking attendance in my classroom every morning, or letting a kid use it to type a paper. In addition, I have no idea how to upgrade my computer unless I throw it away and buy a new one.
I was just happy using my computer for facebook, emails, looking at my pictures, or watching an occasional Youtube video. I use Vista on an Acer Aspire , bought in Only trouble I had was that a year or so ago, the laptop was slowing down a lot. After long search it was the windows update service that was eating up my memory. As there where no more updates! Just playing video on Netflix, Youtube,.. I was off the grid when free update was supplied so never got to upgrade vista.
I have been using it. I have found that windows 10, 8. If it gets any more ridiculous with windows I will absolutely be considering Linux or any other open source system OS that is available on the internet. Just switch between operating systems and your good to go.
Too greedy MS…. I have windows ten on both my old desktop and new laptop. But I also have a Vista installation on the desktop too. Out of all, I still prefer vista. Only offline of course now. But is is still quick, easy to understand and definitely the prettiest. Skip to content. XG Firewall. Intercept X. For Home Users. Free Security Tools. Free Trials. Product Demos.

Hi, My personal opinion is that you buy a newer machine as Vista Basic came on machines that did have only the basic hardware requirements for it. Follow these steps before you buy Windows 7.
Microsoft no longer sells 7; try amazon. If not available, Windows 7 will not work correctly for you. Try amazon. If not available, Windows 8.
