We are thinking about upgrading our PCs and were wondering other small business owners thoughts as to whether you would wait to but a PC with Vista on it or perhaps buy it now and upgrade later - any suggestions?

Re: Wait for Vista
It comes out in a month and is suppose to have a better security framework. I would wait so you don't have to buy a new OS system.

I'll be letting my team of beta-testers try it first.

Their findings will be announced and discussed across thousands of forums across the net. 🙂

Re: Wait for Vista
Right now you can buy some fairly decent computers for really cheap that are upgradeable for FREE! from the pc manufacturer. I think HP, Dell, Toshiba, and Gateway are all doing that. The problem is you get the version of Vista that the OEM (original equipment manufacture) puts on there... usually bogged down with a bunch of extra stuff you dont need. Another issue with this is that you dont get to choose your Vista you want... for example "Vista Business".
Right now businesses can purchase Vista... as of November 30th I think. But you have to buy 5 or more licenses.

Re: Wait for Vista
Vista introduces new techniques to help speed Windows' startup and shutdown times, and to accelerate application launches. SystemBoosterXP claims to use a technology similar to Vista's prefetching, which anticipates the files you're likely to request next and revs up your file loading and app starts. The program sits quietly in your system tray (the area near the clock) and needs little if any configuring. You can try it for 30 days before forking over the $20 registration fee.
On the other hand, if you're an inveterate system tweaker, DriverHeaven TuneXP; free, though donations are accepted) lets you adjust a variety of system settings--many of which I'd never heard of--to speed up Windows starts and shutdowns, and to optimize other system processes. For example, the utility lets you rearrange boot files for faster startups and clean out Windows' prefetch folder to optimize file access. Though every command is explained in the program's help file, it is clearly intended for technically adept users.
