Hi Dan Sarandrea,
Thank you for your reply. I plan to buy a brand new upmarket PC. And in very simple
language please will you tell me if it would be a good idea to go for Vista and what
are the advantages over WinXP. And are there any unforseen problems I could run
into with Vista please? Thanks a lot as I really would appreciate the help.
