- No problems with us and Windows Vista but I am stuck with a two year old PC with I believe a four-five year life expectancy. At what point will I be in two-three years with Windows 7's predecessor if I stay with Vista? In effect I am stuck between Window's OS's and this does not make me happy.

Showing 2 of 2 pages (29 Comments)More then likely my next version of Windows will be the "Build" version. The version used by PC gamers and builders thus circumventing the "OS/hardware" bundling problem altogether. Again, it appears the gamers know what their doing while the rest of us lag behind. "Hats off" to the gamers and builders.
"Hats off" = Tipping ones hat, as a sign of respect. A phrase used years ago when respect for others was common. (no definition was available online for "Hats off". It seems "Hats off" it is out of fashion. ).
