Windows Xp VS Linux Xp 2009?
I have a laptop that has Window 98 on it. I wanted to upgrade to windows 2000 or windows xp. I dont know hardly anything about computers. If something goes wrong I call dell until they figure it out but I do know that 98 is almost obsolete. I have been told that instead of putting on windows I should run Linux. I have no idea what this program is or what it does. Any body think they could explain this to a completely computer illiterate. And could you tell me your prefrence

I use a Mac and I think it is great. Key things to note about the Mac: It is a steep learning curve coming from a windows based machine. It is a little bit more expensive than your windows machine. The programs you list will not work natively on the mac. The Mac does allow you to install windows on it as well, so you can run the windows applications. There is a version of microsoft office (word, excel etc...) for the Mac. Good tip: I would recommend going into your local apple store and having a look at a 21" iMac or a 15" MacBook pro (later is a laptop, former a desktop). I don't know a lot about Linux. I love my Mac (some would say a little too much) and I would recommend it to anyone. Have you thought about upgrading your pc hardware tona faster machine and boosting the operating system to windows 7? Might be a little more cost effective. Hope this helps!
