MS Vista OS on sale 30 January 2007

At $300.00 for an upgrade from AnyVersion XP to Vista Ultimate this is not inexpensive. Many will need to purchase a newer video adapter to see the Aero 3-D effects at a further cost. Since most stock computers typically contain only 256 or 512 mb. of RAM others will find that they need to add more memory at a further cost. Hmmm. Start doing the math and you will see that buying a new PC, especially with the extras thrown in such as an LCD monitor, webCAM, Internet access, VoIP, etc., at this time is reasonable. Here is the secret (and you heard it here first): The whole roll-out of Vista is predicated on people buying new PC's not to run Vista but to free up the old PC to become the gateway to the Digital Living Room or whatever it comes to be called. Call it Home Entertainment Networking from Bill.
