^ Jeff is right in that Windows 7 is a better platform. Windows 7 is essentially a cleaned up version of Windows Vista. Windows Vista consumed resources like memory and it was terrible. The good news is Windows 7 can retrofitted to your Windows Vista unit.

Keep in mind that Windows 7 is no longer supported so if the Windows 7 unit goes online, there can be on line security risks. Ubunto and Linux Operating systems are a more viable option and they are free. Keep in mind the file systems used in any Windows application and Linux are incompatible, for the most part. There is a " wine " component in Linux that allows Windows to run in Linux but I have no Idea how effective they are.
