It has new fantastic features and amazing grapfics.
A bit of a copyright issue with Apple but what the hell still makes it look great.
Does what its told to do... almost. Runs quite a lot of XP software but i strongly recommend that you wait for the service pack to be released.
I'm not sure whether vista business is suitable for businesses because there are a lot better software to use for small businesses. BUT it does offer a lot of support and function with owning a small business.
The great thing about microsoft is that there is endless information and support if anything goes wrong.
Cons: You need a meaty computer to run with vista with, i personally had to upgrade the ram from 512k to 2GB to satisfy vista's need for memory.
Full of bugs... but hurray! next year there will be a service pack.(ill be here to xmas if i was to list the bugs)
Vista can be a nightmare if your computer isnt designed to run vista however it will still run it. BUT!!! it might not allow some programs to function correctly.
I have a scenic 600 Fuji computer and vista is failing to recogise some software.... espically my graphics.
In the end it is worth having Vista, Make sure its a legal copy otherwise no updates or downloads from microsoft!!!

Erm..... you can't really say "great quality!" on one line and then say the thing is replete with bugs in the next! Yes, the service pack will straighten a lot of those out, but many of us tire of Microsoft basically charging consumers for what is basically beta software. Businesses aren't keen on such things, y'know...(I'm speaking as an IT professional of 15+ years standing). The review is fine, btw; just disagreeing with your opinion ;-)
