bibby>Chode Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ask them if they will give you some sort o a discount, and get ultimate. Home basic i know, is nothing to be proud of having. But ultimate is pretty cool. If you are real concerned about it, hit up a radioshack/office depot/circuit city, and get them to show you the different versions. They should have them running on their computers. You have XP Media center, or Home? either one, i wouldnt worry tih it unless i was going to ultimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Home basic is just a prettier version of windows, and says it has more protection, but I wouldn't upgrade unless I was getting Home Premium. Personally I would call alienware, for the money you spent on the computer they should give you home premium for free, at circuit city you get home premium for just spending $1000 =| Quote 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

GHOPPOMAN Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 do it. i like vista ultimate 64bit. some things r a pain like the security but u can turn it off. i threw it on my mothers puter i built and shes happy with it over xp. since its from alienware u should have any of the driver problems some have.

bibby>Chode Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Ahh hell, do it, it's free. make sure you have some restore discs (im sure you do) so you can go back to xp, if you don't like it, or it bogs you down any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSys Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 If you want M$ to run your system for you, go right ahead. If you want to pay a yearly lease for an operating system, go right ahead. If you like the DRM crap, go right ahead. If you don't mind the lack of driver support, go right ahead. Otherwise, stay with XP until the support has ended, in 2011. Or move over to *nix and be free forever. I've tested vista throughout the betas. I refuse to upgrade to it, period. I'm now dual booting XP and linux, so I can get a grasp of the other side. It's actually pretty darn easy.
