Upgrading to Vista will lose Windows XP lock

If users choose to upgrade to Microsoft's new operating system from Windows XP to reduce the cost of $ 100 - 199 USD, they will not have a chance to return to the current version anymore. Also this week, Dell shipped the first Vista computer systems.

In the copyright agreement with end users (refer to the Vista EULA file), Microsoft states: " To upgrade, you need to make sure the operating software is eligible to switch to the new operating system. After upgrading, you will no longer be allowed to use the previous program . "

This means that Windows XP users are licensed, after switching to Vista, will not be able to reinstall XP with the old key if they do not like Vista. Moreover, they are not allowed to transfer that XP key to another computer system.

Meanwhile, Dell said it has spent about 100,000 hours testing Vista and claims the software is equipped with many features and technologies superior to Windows XP.

Windows Vista and Dell's dual-core and quad-core computer system will become the "Italian duo" that gives customers a true digital space. Users can watch high-definition videos, manage digital libraries and browse the web safely with antispyware and phishing software.

Dell is currently a popular brand in businesses. However, their new move is directed to consumers, especially in Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam. Users who want to learn about Vista can visit the Dell website and download a tool on this page to check if the computer configuration is strong enough to run Vista.

Retail agents around the world are also open all night to welcome Microsoft's new operating system, but they do not have the opportunity to see people who do not sleep like the launches of gaming machines.

David Keller, 40, one of the few brave people standing in the cold at 3:00 pm in front of CompUSA in San Jose, California (USA), said: " I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Computer My laptop operation is not stable and I hope it will reach higher performance with Vista ".

And Bridges, 53, showed an unconvincing attitude: " Where there is Windows, there is a software error. I don't have to spend money to buy now but I will wait a few more months. "
