As Christmastime approaches we are all wondering how to keep our lists small and our purchases minimal. The economy is forecasting a “drugstore” Christmas or even a DIY sort of giving mentality. One way to keep from spending unnecessary money is to NOT buy anyone you know Windows Vista. According to Fortune magazine, only two machines with Microsoft’s latest version of Windows appear on Amazon’s list of 25 top-selling laptops - the fastest growing segment of PC sales. Apple’s MAC OS X and Microsoft’s seven-year-old Windows XP dominate the roster. So, save yourself $260 and recycle those XP editions.
