What to ask for; for Christmas

Since the holidays are coming up, and more importantly, the end of the 2006 tax season, many firms will be making last minute tech purchases.  You might want to download Microsoft's Vista Upgrade Adviser to see if your computer can run Vista.  You can get it here.

This program will tell you if your hardware is up to speed and what programs will or will not run with vista.  It will also give you an install checklist.  This is a great tool by Microsoft.
