But for the folks who do not like changes, 'older' system may be better. So my mum is still using the 8-year old Windows 98SE Lenovo system since she only uses two programs at home (IE and a Chinese poker game). My dad, on the other hand, would like to use faster and greater machine. So we bought him a Lenovo Windows XP computer last year so he could play on-line games (I do not play games) faster and enjoy better surfing.
