Re: windows 7



That depends primarily on what you want the PC to do.

XP is a good OS and fulfill pretty much all basic requirements. However, XP
is / going end-of-life. Windows7 is much prettier (some people will laugh
for others this is very important), Windows7 supports latter versions of
things like DirectX which if you are a games player is important. In a
corporate environment Windows 7 offers much greater flexibility and
managability when it comes to deployment, securing and control.
