NEWS ALERT

 Responding to feedback from customers and third parties, Microsoft has extended the availability of Windows XP to June 30, 2008. Originally slated to be pulled from retail shelves and OEMs on January 30, 2008*only a year after Windows Vista's debut*customers requested more time to prepare for the upgrade to Vista.
What does this mean for your business? Have you invested into software to run your business that is designed to operate on Windows XP? If so you may have to decide weather to update your entire computer infrastructure to operate on Windows Vista which may include purchasing new software or purchasing Windows XP Based computers before Windows XP units are no longer available.
Unfortunately upgrading to Vista is not as easy as the Windows 98 to Windows XP upgrade was because Windows Vista is designed for the new 64 Bit hardware. This means if your system is over one year old it may not be Vista compatible so a Vista upgrade would include replacing the computer itself.
There are also considerations for the home user. Much of the software and peripheral such as printers and cameras you may own may not be Vista compatible. This would mean not only purchasing a Vista based PC but also replacing the accessories you have invested in.
Its time to act now if you need to expand your Windows XP based infrastructure. PC Medics will be offering Windows XP based computers for the next month. Call us for more information or with questions concerning Windows XP and Windows Vista..
