windowsitpro.com — Microsoft has a Band-Aid solution for people who want to know whether their Windows XP-based PCs can run Vista: the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor RC Release, which can be found at the URL below. Upgrade Advisor is a small tool that scans your computer, reports any compatibility problems, and recommends ways to fix them.

Hmmm, under vmWare on my kubuntu box, it says that I am good for an upgrade...wouldn't going from kubuntu to vista be a downgrade?-Matthew

I have procrastinated about buying the more expensive Mac, but it seems like this is a good time for me to make the switch! I've had it with MS blunders, bugs, and especially their marketing conspiracies!
