Choosing the Right Windows Vista - Vista Sense - About Windows Vista

[…] Windows Vista Versions […]

Isn’t it strange that for every system release Microsoft says that it is the “safest” product? I mean, why don’t they say that it is one of the most so they leave us alternative? I mean that the Firewall in XP is good enough if associated with an AV and AdWare. I haven’t upgraded to Vista for I want to find out my pals’ opinion.

The concept of “Virtual Folder” is something revolutionary. Does this exist on other Operating Systems?

The Vista pricing structure frustrates me. Even though the features for each are described, I would not know their value unless I actually used them. The top end Vista is close the price of a new computer.

And I can’t use my iPod with it!

@ Troubled Youth,

Yep. In fact security problems are already discovered in Windows Vista and MS just released a small patch for it.

@Addicted

Yes, it looks like a great addition.

May be you want to wait little longer until more and more people migrate to Windows Vista and learn from their experience. The actual problem is that Vista requires and high-end system for the best performance; thus in reality you will need to buy a new system + new OS.

[…] Shattering the expectations of Halo 2  for Windows Vista  hitting the market on May 8th, Microsoft officials announces a new shipping date as May 22nd.

[…] Windows Vista comes with a new performance feature called Vista ReadyBoost. This feature allows you to use your USB flash drives as temporary memory instead of the regular HDD pagefile.

[…] Select the properties of Window Vista that you really found useful. Please note that some setting will remove the visual styles and make you windows look like old Windows 2000. But again, it is faster than fully loaded Windows Vista! […]

[…] A small, but power utility to optimize Windows Vista, Tweak VI can help you tweak many hidden Window Vista settings. […]

[…] Even though this new feature can help you prevent messing up your PCs, it is becoming an annoyance introduced in Windows Vista. UAC always asks for administrative rights to run some programs and it’s sometimes irritating. […]

[…] One of the innovative feature on Windows Vista is the Windows Vista 3D flip. It is a feature rich expanded system similar to Ctrl-Tab. Using Ctrl-Tab, you can only see the icons of open Windows. Instead of these icons Vista 3D Flip allows you to watch live animation of rotating Windows. […]

[…] Do you wish to change the boring progressive bar booting-up screen in Windows Vista? Yes, you can. Here is the small tweak that can change your old boot-screen to an aurora boot screen. […]

[…] BBC has a news story stating that Microsoft plans to reduce the price of Windows Vista in the near future. This means, single copy of Windows Vista Ultimate would now cost only $319 instead of earlier $399 price mark. Microsoft expects this move will improve the number of people upgrading to Windows Vista. We believe it can also accelerate the sales of new Windows Vista licenses. However, this does not change a penny on the price pre-installed versions. This means, if you are buying a new computer with pre-installed Windows Vista, you will not see any changes in price. […]
