If you are running a PC/laptop with Windows Vista installed and it has NO services packs (also known as Windows Vista RTM or SP0), please use Windows Update to install the latest service pack available ASAP.

For security and stability reasons you SHOULD be on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2), please note you’ll need to install Service Pack 1 first.

I also recommend checking out Windows 7 as an upgrade.

On April 13th, 2010, Windows Vista RTM (SP0) will reach the end of support.

Looking for a cheap way to add a dvd decoder to Windows Vista?  ….that way you can enjoy your favourite movies on your PC.

A common way to achive this is using a “plugin” that will turn Windows Media Player into a fully fledged DVD player.

In most cases, you can do an in-place upgrade of Vista to Windows 7. For most Windows Vista users the upgrade process will be painless with just some small tweaking needed post upgrade.

Watch this video from CNET to get a quick overview of the process:
