There’s
no doubt it was worth waiting for Windows 7 as it’s far more polished and faster
than Microsoft Vista. Having said that, it is probably worthwhile holding off
for a few weeks before taking the plunge to Windows 7 for four main reasons;
So take
it easy and shop around for some good deals.
For these four reasons, it might be worthwhile waiting a month before
buying a new system. While Windows 7 is a lot better than Vista, it’s not
worth spending top dollar on just to be the first on the street.
Every operating system has some hiccups and while Windows 7 is probably
the most tested program ever, there will still be the odd problem. Let the
early adopters tear out their hair while sorting out the issues.
Early adopters are a key profit centre for
the tech industry. If you want the latest mobile phone, computer or operating
system you will pay dearly for the privilege to be the first on your street.
Wait a few weeks and you’ll find prices will drop.
Windows 7’s release date is deliberate. By having it
on the shelves by the end of October, it means the latest systems are available
for the Christmas sales rush. Expect to see some good deals in the run up
to Christmas.
It’s been a pretty torrid 12 months for PC manufacturers as
the Global Financial Crisis has hit computer sales hard. To make things
worse, Acer, Dell and HP are all in a race for market share. So you can
expect some good prices on new systems as the big boys fight it out.
