Windows 7 - it makes Vista look like a beta
Advantages: smooth, quick, easy to install and use, pretty to look at, simplified for the masses
Disadvantages: Vista should have been like this - Microsoft robbed us!
...Windows 7 makes Windows Vista feel like a beta. That?s my philosophy. It was my philosophy before I bought Windows 7 and it?s still my philosophy now. That?s where the ?it looks like Vista? comments come from. Windows 7 is Vista without all the rubbish. Everything people moaned about in vista is gone (or improved) and 7 is more spangly and all singing and dancing. It looks better, runs more smoothly and is simple to use. You might even say its been dumbed down for the masses. Simplified. It?s a pleasure to use. It loads more quickly than Vista and is aesthetically pleasing as it does so.
The first thing to note is the ease with which it installed. For those of us brave enough to install our own operating systems (and re-install every so often to keep it fresh), we all know the pain and misery that it can lead too, but I have to say...

Windows Vista
Advantages: it looks nice
Disadvantages: it is unreliable and unpredictable
... Why I Upgraded
I recently upgraded from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows Vista, the reason for the upgrade was simply because I got a new laptop and it came with Windows Vista. If I had not have needed the new laptop then I probably would not have paid to upgrade to Vista, this is mostly because I was happy with XP and so had no reason to want to upgrade. I had heard of Vista though and wanted to try it out as everyone else was getting it and seemed happy with it, as I said however I would not have paid to upgrade as it is too expensive when there was nothing wrong with what I was using.
Look and Feel of Vista
The cosmetic side of Vista is as good as you would want it to be, in this respect I prefer it to XP. It has the side bar which you can download various widgets for including an E-bay one which I find helpful...

Windows Vista.
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 if you do not want to use them.
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...

Microsoft, a software giant company has most popular operating system in the world with Windows tag. Windows operating system is ruling on almost 95% computers in the world.

Windows Vista Build 5308
Advantages: New Programs
Disadvantages: Security Box pops up alot
...Windows Vista Build 5308 is the first build that is nearly feature complete. It's also the first build that allows testers to install the five major flavors of Vista that will be offered when the OS ships: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, and Windows Vista Ultimate. (We've all heard this.) The research for this story was based on Windows Vista Ultimate. Microsoft has not released a features-comparison table that shows what's offered (or not offered) in the various Vista SKUs. It's going to take people like me a while to install all those flavors and figure out what's different. Morevoer, even if we had the comparison data right now, there's every possibility that it could change in the final versions of Vista.
What does "nearly feature complete" mean, and is this...

Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate
Advantages: Beautiful Interface
Disadvantages: Over Security, Not Compatible with many software and hardware
...Installation: Very Easy and Automatic
My experience on Windows Vista Ultimate is to install in dual boot mode, which I install Windows Vista Ultimate without uninstalling Windows XP that was installed on my hard drive before, because I am still unsure of this new operating system. And after I have the DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate, the next step is running and enter on Windows XP that was installed on my computer and then insert the Windows Vista Ultimate DVD to the DVD drive. And the installation process runs automatically and I am prompted to enter the serial number after that, the installation process is running.
But some time after the installation process runs (about 48%) suddenly the installation is stopping without leaving a message of any kind. And I try to put the DVD out and put it in back again to the DVD drive to start...

Windows Vista Home Premium
Advantages: Speed, Durabliity, Function, less memory use & ease of Use
Disadvantages: Some product in-compatible
...Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium is far better that any version of windows I have used, to start at the beginning the installation is more automated and easier, making a quicker installation, although in my opinion I would not recommend an upgrade, but moreover a clean install, I would also recommend you installing Microsoft compatibility software, which can be downloaded from their website.
If there is incompatible software, its a nightmare to remove and correct, i.e. when I first installed I did a direct upgrade only to find my SATA drives (64 bit incompatibility only) and Zone Alarm Internet Security was incompatible (later editions compatible, except when running 64 bit architecture).
Some Software after the direct upgrade could not be removed as the Install/Uninstall programs had been removed by the upgrade (These...

New bottle, old Wine, microsoft windows vista home basic
Advantages: Easy to use, improved features
Disadvantages: Find out
...windows vista home basic Operating System.
This is one of six Microsoft's new version of Operating System. Users can install it to a Windows or Macintosh based Computer, along with upgrading from the previous xp versions. A Computer user interface, is the graphics, the layout of the software program. In simple terms it is what the user can see on the screen.
The home version that I am reviewing in comparison to my existing xp home Computer Operating System seems as the name suggests to offer just the basic new 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. Upon running the start menu, there is a Search Toolbar that enables fast browsing and access.

A detailed Windows Vista Review
Advantages: All of the Windows Vista Features
Disadvantages: They're Windows Vista Features
...Windows Vista is the "next generation" operating system from Microsoft, well that's what they say. The "WOW" starts now is their new tagline, so does it really? I am going to review the new and rather expensive offering from the biggest computing company in the world.
Microsoft say that they are hoping for Windows Vista to be installed on 100 million computers by the end of 2007, but the people that I have discussed Windows VIsta with, all say the same thing, they'll buy it when SP1 (codenamed, Windows Figi) is released, this will get rid of all the bugs in the system, of which there are a lot.
For a start, if you think there is fantastic driver support, then think again, when I installed Vista there were 4 drivers missing, OK, go online and get some new drivers, but the Ethernet card driver is missing, I cannot get on the internet...

Introducing Windows Vista
Advantages: Fair coverage, plenty of screen shots.
Disadvantages: Not too sure of its target audience
...It's been many years in development and has filled thousands of column inches in the computer press but at last, Windows Vista is upon us. Windows Vista claims to be the most radical overhaul so far of Windows with many new features as well as toughened up security. Will the changes baffle people or be the best thing they've ever seen?
The author, William R. Stanek has over 50 books to his name and is also a series editor for Microsoft Press and is thus well placed to explain what's new and how it all works. At just over 280 pages it's a fairly slim book by IT book standards so how does it fair?
Introducing Microsoft Windows Vista is aimed at existing Windows users, administrators and developers and as such tries to be all things to all men. Alas it doesn't really offer enough for any one audience but as a taster of things to come...
