@Missuk:
XP will still have critical updates etc coming out, service pack 3 is planned for next year I believe. It's not completely dropped from their support line up

Thanks for the pictures of it..
it looks alot updated compared to XP Pro
does it have options to change the colours of the bottom taskbar,
I mean like on the XP Pro theres only 3 of them Blue, Olive Green, & Silver
ive run a advisor test on my Acer Aspire T120E it says I need a Video card for it im gonna take the risk and try without it lol
I upgraded my ram from 256MB to 1GB last year the advisor hasn't mentioned anything of it needing another ram stick
I hope your right that they will keep XP updates going another 4 years,
I heard the info all on Radio One's newsbeat
My laptop is screwed if the case lol
466Mhz
was a good bargain tho £90 I wanted it for surfing round the house in the comfort and of course the warmth... browsing the pc upstairs is chilly

yeah, microsoft recently commented that they were continuing support for XP
for me, I don't think I'll be upgrading any PC's to vista but I have a preorder for the new
Vaio SZ4VWN/X to replace my 2 year old S3XP and they say this is the most powerful vaio ever built, but we'll see.
It comes with Vista business and initially I wanted Home Premium but comparing the two there seems little difference, just a few different names for almost the same thing like the DVD making etc.

Phewww well thats good..
good to have XP on 1 machine and Vista on the other
is VISTA running ok with Anti-Virus programs?
I mema the trouble I had when I got my Tiny PC with XP Home on it,
it was on of the first pcs out with at the time lol
Hmm you know I was beginning to think to myself why did I buy a Desktop I mean you can do alot more with them like upgrade them cheaper than a laptop, but having a laptop is more convienant!
Anyways hope my PCG-F400 (Sony Vaio)
lasts me a while
Sony Vaio's cost alot
I don't think i'd splash out on £1000 for 1 brand new
infact i'd prob go for Dell if I went for a brand spanking new one,
my mates just bought 1 was reduced from £500 to under £400
I guess when it comes to SONY your paying for the name

My desk top is a Dell:)
Must say I do like the Dell XPS H2c.
About the RAM, Dell themselves recommend 2GB of RAM, if you want decent gaming on a PC these days you need it.
I saw on a forum someone was talking about Vista 64bit and saying that with just the browser open he was using 1GB of RAM.
I'm certainly using more RAM than XP.
To miss uk,
To be honest I'm not sure if you can change the colour of the task bar, don't seem to be able to.
You seem to be able to change the colours of the windows though
