Right now you have the option of buying Windows XP or Windows Vista with your new PC purchase, but by January of 2008 you will not have that option. Since Microsofts Windows XP agreement will end at the beginning of 2008 and you will have to buy Vista. That will be an interesting development to see what Microsoft does since not everyone is adapting to Vista since it still has its fair share of problems and heavy system requirements. It will be an interesting development for sure since people won’t enjoy that transition.
