What is the best? Windows 7 or XP?
I have xp pro sp3... and I think to get windows 7. but I read on a win7 problems. so when I get my new laptop, should what operating system I install it? XP or win7? What is the best?
Given that the new laptops do not come with Windows XP (and probably wouldn't support the OS even if you install a retail version of XP), I think that your choice (depending when you are considering buying) will be between Windows 7 and Windows 8.

What is the best strategy to migrate data from Windows to one Mac to another? I use Parallels Desktop to run Windows on my current Mac but want to use Bootcamp on my new.
If it is only the data (not apps) I use Dropbox. It turned out to be the best way to move things between the side Mac and the bootcamped Windows of my iMac side. I don't see why it would not work to move data from a virtual machine installation of Win to a BootCamp installation.

I have Windows XP Professional and see that Windows XP will support ending April 8, 2014. My question is quite simple: what is the best operating system to install instead of XP? Is - this Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows 8.1? I don't want a touchscreen application. I'm used to XP. I have a desktop computer with a lot of programs running at the same time, am constantly downloading big files and open the three browsers (MS IE, Google Chrome, Mozilla). I can't afford downtime if things stop grinding and safety is an important issue for me. I want to continue to receive updates. Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone had Windows XP Professional and already past to another OS? If Yes, what kind of problems you are having or, at the other end are things runnig smoothly?
Thank you!
I don't have personal experience with Win 8, so take the following with a grain of salt. It is my understanding that Win 8 is really designed for touch screens, although it works without one. There was a lot of vocal dissatisfaction with Win 8, but which can decrease as people get more used is a pretty important user interface change.
I had XP Pro Win 7 Pro change quite easily. In addition, if you plan to use your hardware even (rather than buying a new computer with Windows pre-installed), your old hardware is support Win 7 to 8 win more.
My suggestion: go with Windows 7 Professional
If you plan to install one of these operating systems on your current hardware, run these first:

I'm putting my windows media files in iTunes to play on a stereo system.
I am after the best quality possible and do not want to be caught in the trap in appleworld but there is very little ipnut devices that support what anyone else than apple.
I also have a Samsing Galaxy SII I want to play music.
I, therefore, plucked a few CD in windows media player using WAV (lossless) format.
When I try to add a folder to library in itunes songs appear under unknown artist and I can't recognize the format.
Anyone know what is the best quality download I can do which can be dealt with by media player AND iTunes?
Thank you very much.
John
Why use iTunes AND WMP AND a Galaxy? Use one of them.
The reason for which you you hide it all under "Unknown", this is that wav files are not encrypted when you ripped them. You must add the titles to the hand. However, your Galaxy will not be able to read them.
You could rip as mp3 at a rate of 320 files - negligible loss of sound quality at a high rate, or as a file flac.
You can use a codec for WMP for files flac and I don't know if iTunes can read - I never use it for reading. Check the plug on the Apple site. Yet once, however, the Galaxy cannot.
However, they can read mp3 files, as can your Galaxy (I have a). To transfer files to the Galaxy its recommended to use Kies software (available on Samsung website)...
If you were to use a program like AudioGrabber (Google for it, its freeware) coupled with the Lame codec (follow the links on the site of AudioGrabber) then you can rip from CD directly to mp3 at a rate of 320 that WMP + iTunes + your Galaxy can read.
Hope that waffle above is clear,
See you soon,.
