Get your Vista on!
Microsoft has cut prices on Vista! As a Vista user for about two years now, including pre-release versions, I’m pretty satisfied with Vista Ultimate and do prefer it to XP (I still have one XP machine on my home network). If you’re deploying a new machine, I definitely encourage you to give Vista Ultimate a [...]
