for
: XP Home but will continue supporting XP Pro until the year 2014. Vista is

packs
: are released. It too will be replaced within the next few years by the
next
: incarnation. Remember that if you choose to upgrade to Vista ensure there
: are Vista drivers available for all the hardware and that the software you
: have is Vista compatible. You should also ensure you upgrade your RAM to
at
: least 2GB to make certain Vista will run smoothly.
