    It's very professional, if it's for an IT or business project, very good. Couple of object placement errors, and should double check your grammer, but that's relatively minor - the overall presentation is very high quality.

    Afew people including yourself and matt have said i have good Word processing skills:flirt:

    Lol, you know there are greater things in life than operating systems :p

    Maybe you should do a marketing and business degree, then apply for a job at Microsoft. The benefits are immense - I'd love to be able to work there.

    Free soft drinks!

    I'm not sure whether its better to get 32bit or 64bit. Also need to consider, is the price likely to fall?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Most likely not, you have 2 options Buy a new pc and get a upgrade it will probley go on the basis on the higher the price on the PC the better vista you get?

    And i have 32bit and its lovely! Came in 3 days when i orderd it from that place - I'm Very happy:p
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    did you buy the upgrade? If so, bye-bye xp licence!

    (Upgrading from XP automatically revokes your old xp licence making it un-usable)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    i'm always very wary of using OS upgrades.

    gonna use Vista ultimate...when i upgrade my pc, if i can be arsed.

    to be honest i only use to browse the web and download shiz these days. so probably not worth it.

    Get Windows Vista Basic. You only need it for the BASIC Computering needs.

    You can pick up a 32bit OEM Copy for £55.

    Apparently, I cannot run Vista on my laptop as I do not have enough space on my C drive.

    It is |
    | that big. Seriously, I have no idea. I don't actually care. I wanted to contribute something else that is pointless to this thread :p

    I'm not too worried about Vista at the moment. As long as I can still use word, t'internet, email etc, then I am not too bothered. As you know, I have bigger fish to fry :p
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    Probably, but as already stated, I don't have enough space. Or inclination to do anything about it. I have no need for it at the moment. And can't be arsed with change.

    Change is not always a good thing. And change throws me completely. I am not good with change.
