PC's are now being shipped with the Vista Capable sticker but if you do not have this sticker on your machine don't worry, if you purchased a PC in the last two years then chances are good that you can run Windows Vista.
If you've bought a Windows Vista Capable PC it does not mean that you will receive a free upgrade to Windows Vista, just that the PC is ready for an upgrade from Windows XP. You would still need to purchase the edition of Windows Vista that you want to install on your Windows Vista Capable or Premium Ready PC. Upgrades are only available from Windows XP.
More information will be available in the new year when Windows Vista is launched, in the meantime if you have any queries please call and speak to Carly McKay on 01244 288281 or carly@samarind.co.uk
