Windows XP vs Vista
It has taken Microsoft 5 years to release a new version of Windows Operating System. Is it worth the wait?At a glance, Vista looks visually appealing. With all settings turned on, it looks very Apple-like, with all those semi-transparent looks. When you start pressing buttons, that is when you realise that there are a lot of changes. You will find that Microsoft has decided to rearrange everything, making it difficult to find the common features that we have all been so used to.
If you are using an ageing computer with old hardware, you might be in strive, as the drivers may not be compatible with Vista. Speed could also be a problem, but yes, you can turn off all the fancy settings.
If you are purchasing a new computer, Vista is most likely to be the pre-installed operating system. If you have an existing computer and not very computer literate, then it would be best to wait for a little longer before making the upgrade, otherwise you could potentially be spending time re-learning how things work and investigating why certain hardware is not working.
