Microsoft Windows Vista Review

I won a laptop from my school and since it was brand new it had windows vista. The program is ok. I don't have any complaints. Some of my older games aren't for vista though so I don't know how they will work. I also can't download some programs. If you buy a new computer I know some places give you the option to downgrade for Xp. You should probably try vista for awhile though.I personally don't see any difference between the operating systems except for the sound when you turn the computer on.

Paradoxically, Windows Vista is both revolutionary and evolutionary. While it includes modern OS features, such as a new hardware-based graphical user interface (GUI), Vista will also feel like familiar territory, for the most part, to anyone that's already familiar with Windows XP. And Mac advocates can claim, truthfully, that many of Vista's best features appeared first on Mac OS X, sometimes years ago.

More problematic, over the past five years, many of Windows Vista's best features have been jettisoned, and it's unclear whether they'll ever appear in future Windows versions.
