Re: The market is different...
Not often you see people extolling the virtues of Vista - no wonder you are posting as AC :p
If I were you i'd spen £20 on a win7 licencse off of ebay and upgrade to 7.
It will be like your pc has got over a long bout of the flu.
Get a ssd while your at it , obvs
The beauty of this upgrade in windows version , is that its probably the only one where the hardware spec is smaller on the newer one, making it no-brainer. The newer one IS better - not because all the shits been swapped around and coloured different , but because your computer WILL run better with no hardware changes.
