New technology comes out for a very simple reason: Microsoft (or any
company, in any field) can not continue to make money unless they have new
products to sell you. You can see that as good or bad, as you choose, but to
me, it's neither; it's simply a fact of life.
I have used Windows XP for several years and asked lots of questions
that I encoutered here on the newsgroups . And eventually I almost
"master" how to install the system, make the system work more
smoothly and easily recovered for me. But now Microsoft announced
their new cutting-edge..breakthrough..Operating System-Vista. So if I
want to keep pace, I must adjust myself to adapt to the new system,
No, not at all. There's no need to "keep pace." A change of operating system
should be driven by need, not just because there is a new version available.
Are you having a problem with Windows XP that you expect Vista to solve? Do
you have or expect to get new hardware or software that is supported in
Vista, but not in XP? Is there some new feature in Vista that you need or
yearn for? Does your job require you have skills in Vista? Are you a
computer hobbyist who enjoys playing with whatever is newest?
If the answer to one or more of those questions is yes (and your hardware is
adequate for Vista), then you should get Vista. Otherwise most people should
stick with what they have. There is *always* a learning curve and a
potential for problems when you take a step as big as this one, regardless
of how wonderful whatever you're contemplating moving to is. Sooner or later
you'll have to upgrade (to Vista or its successor) because you'll want
support for hardware or software that you can't get in XP, but don't rush
it.
learn how to operate it and fix all the new emerging
problems\questions? I felt I was a servant for my computer when I
used it for the first time. And as the technology updates, I felt
that way stronger than before...perhaps not only for new system, but
also for the ever-updating versions of application programs? What a
headache! Couldn't the system be a servant for humans, not the vice
versa?
Over and above everything I say above, it's also important to realize that
new technology also means improvements in technology (if not in every case,
in most of them, and over time, everywhere). How many of us would be
willing to go back 100 years to 1906 and live with the technology that
existed then? Not me.
