Vista was released five years ago, Windows 7 two years
ago, so how out of
date was your advice?
It depends on how much money you like to burn for nothing.
I have a core duo notebook, 2GB Ram, some 500-odd GB in the HD and use
it as my main computer, for designing embbedded hardware. I use ALL programs
you can think about (even Altium Designer) and have no troubles with that.
If you like to use office 1*10^128 and Windows 1384, it is up to you, I use
what works for me and I don't need to fork tons of money to have "the newest
crop" to show my friends.
It is a matter of usability x price. I'll buy a new computer (and hard
disk, and OS, etc) when and IF I feel the need, not because it is new.
