I’ve gotten quite a few complaints from people who had bought a desktop or laptop computer running Windows Vista. The problem they’re having is that their old programs won’t work under Vista, so they decided to remove vista and install Windows XP and their systems and get another problem with hardware compatibility (like the built in wireless adapter won’t work, because XP doesn’t have a driver for it). My cousin had the same problem when he bought that Compaq laptop on sale, after he took vista off and replace it with XP, his wireless wouldn’t work, so he called customer service and was told that they could not help him if he went back to Windows XP.
I’m almost sure that they might be updated for some of those old programs if you go to the software company’s website, or you can just go out and buy the new version for them. Don’t get me wrong, Windows Vista is a very good operating system, running on the right hardware (that matches system requirements) and using the software that was designed for it. I got a lot of programs that were designed for 98 up to XP that are valuable to me, and I’m not going to go out and buy new ones at this time or neither do I have the time nor energy to search for updates online. My solution is simple, when I decide to go buy that new computer, I’m getting one that’s running Windows XP but is Vista ready (compatible with vista) so I can go out and buy vista when or if I choose to.
