Trying to stay on top of the latest technology is expensive. I still use Windows XP and if I were to upgrade to Windows Vista, the Ultimate one, it would cost me about $400. I couldn’t just buy the upgrade either, with the amount of times I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows, having just the upgrade would be useless to me.
I don’t even use Microsoft Office because that too is really expensive. I might go to CostCaptain though. They have Microsoft Office for $129. That is a lot cheaper than going out and buying it in a store. They also have Viosta Upgrades from $89, and the full versions for a lot less than the regular retail value.
