With the recent release of Windows Vista, you might be itching to upgrade to the latest and greatest. I personally have not tried it as I prefer to wait until the first service pack is released, however upgrading certainly is intriguing.
Before you rush out to buy a copy, make sure you take a look at the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. This page has a downloadable tool which analyzes your system to see if it is capable of running Vista. Keep in mind this tool is going to test against optimal/recommended system requirements, but considering you will be loading your own programs, the Upgrade Advisor is a good measure.
As always, before you upgrade your OS, do your homework and make sure a new system isn’t a better (and cheaper)Â alternative.
