Granted there have been a lot of complaints about Windows Vista.  Old printers and other accessories do not work.  Old software is not compatible.  Asking for authorizations for certain processes is a hassle.  But what a lot of people don’t understand is that these “issues” are actually done to compliment customer requests.  Not supporting old software and hardware was done to eliminate security risks that were open to hackers and other internet crime.  The authorizations are to protect a user from accidentally causing harm to their system.  All in all Vista is not that bad of a beast.  It has a pretty friendly user interface and a nice look.  It just requires a little more hardware to run it than the good ol’ Windows XP.  Oh and those of you who were waiting for Windows Vista’s first Service Pack before making your purchase, wait no longer as it has been released.

As Windows XP reaches end of life, vendors and system builders will no longer be able to sell Windows XP on new systems.  If you are not planning on migrating to Windows Vista be sure to pick up a license of Windows XP Retail Version, as any OEM or pre-installed version of XP cannot be transferred to your new PC.  Custom systems can still be built with XP sor a little while longer so if you are planning to get a new computer and want XP preinstalled, make sure to do it soon as it won’t last forever.

Remember back in the day when a virus would infect you by accidentally executing it or getting tricked into executing it?  Well that isn’t the case anymore.  Most new viruses can auto execute from just about any website on the fly.  Unfortunately there is not a lot that can be done to prevent it other than making sure you have an up-to-date antivirus software, a pop-up blocker and some kind of malware protection.  In the case that all else fails Meuchel Computer Services & Office Supplies provides a complete virus removal service with Windows updates and temporary file removal.  We also check to make sure you are current on your antivirus subscriptions.
