Windows Vista is due out in a few days, and there is much debate as to whether to switch. Eventually most computers will use it simply because it will be what is offered with most new computers from this point forward. Whether your looking to buy it or even if you are just curious, here are the prices on both the Canadian and US Costco sites. You can even order Vista already on the Canadian site, though with our dollars so close in value to each other right now, it looks like it might be worth it to import a copy from the US, as the price differences are much higher than they should be if it was just the exchange rate making the difference.
We aren’t considering upgrading here simply because our computers are not powerful enough to run it, and upgrades are not in the budget right now. However, even it was, I’d likely hold for a short bit and let the “average” computer become even stronger, so that it is not struggling in a few years with the combination of Vista and programs designed to run on Vista. Our current computers we’re built just as Windows XP was being released and ran it with lightning speed at first; but now that we have Service Pack 2 installed and the latest versions of Office, Photoshop, Firefox, etc., we are desperately wishing we could afford those upgrades now.
