Here the main things which I hope to cover at the next meeting about Windows Vista:
- Microsoft's Reasons to Upgrade
- Will Current Hardware run Vista?
- Is there any gain for the average user?
- Demo of the New Operating System
- The differences between the many different versions - which one is right for you?
- Software compatibility. Is your current software compatible?
- Possible attempt to Install of a form of Virtual Acorn if supplied by another member in the second half of the meeting
(Due to licensing reasons this will of course be fully uninstalled at the end of the meeting)
I hope the above gives you enough information as to what I hope to cover in the next meeting,
if you would like further information please don't hesitate to contact me.
Regards Michael
I hope you will all be able to attend this which should be a very interesting meeting.
We had a great time at the Barn Brasserie and enjoyed our meal. We'll have to visit again later on in the year. I include here some photos to mark the occasion.
I hope to sort out the bills/refunds by next week.
Not a lot to report this time. See you all next week. Would anyone like to write any articles for the Newsletter?
