...features. Is it any good? The start button is smaller and squarer than that in XP home. The design based on what you see on the desktop screen is far clearer and more professional from a design and quality perspective.

Also contained within the start menu are short cuts to access I.E, E mail, Windows Photo Gallery, W Media Centre, W Media Player, Office ... Read review

Advantages: Quite pretty and you get used to it
Disadvantages: Probably not to everyones needs/taste

...see what the team at Microsoft had done, but I was never expecting to experience it until a year or more after its release. I'm not the sort of person that would buy Vista, just for the hell of having an up to date computer, it just so happens though that my mum decided to buy a new desktop computer for the house so that the computer literacy of the house could expand further than the under 40's that live here. This computer would come packed with ...
...and create computer viruses, and Microsoft probably aren't doing enough to prevent all this but Vista is a step in a furthering direction. Pretty much whenever you try to install something you won't just get one security warning about something being installed, you'll probably get about five, that you will have to click yes to all of them before you can move forward. This was pretty irritating when I was first setting up the computer and putting ... Read review

...the new operating system that Microsoft has in order for us. The first time I purchased my laptop I bought it through the company I worked for. I had actually book the day off work so when I arrived to pick up my laptop, my Managing Director had already opened up the box and was just about to start it up.

Advantages: Looks good, Lots of different programmes.
Disadvantages: Hard to get used too.

Windows Vista Layout: The layout of Windows Vista is very sleek but it is quite complicated to get used to at first! The desktop layout can be changed to a variety of colours to make it more personal to the user, and I think that this is a good adaptation to other Windows programmes. On the main desktop, you can choose to have features such as an anologe clock, the date in bold, and the temoerature in your area, all of these features can be disabled ...
...Windows Vista Programmes: The programmes that come with Windows Vista are 'Voice Recognition', a variety of games, Windows Calender, amongst otheres. The Voice recognition programme lets you speak to the computer instead of having to type and click on what you want to do! The downside is that you have to go through a long winded tortourial, and then to make the voice recognition more clear and accurate you need to 'train' the computer to the sound ... Read review
