Hello,

this is a very big question, with a simple answer for me.
I like Vista, better than XP. I'm happy with it because of its new design,
its new and updated features (the Start Menu, the Control Panel, the
Calendar, the Media Center, the Drive Encryption feature, and especially the
Sidebar, and its more and bigger networking overview).
I don't know which of these features you will get in the Vista version you
will purchase.

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

It's a great OS as long as you know what you're doing and your hardware
is sufficient.
Much better than XP or any version of linux.

Some things are better than in XP but I am sure that MS should have
implemented them in a service pack.

Vista does not deliver the overwhelming different way of working, it is an
improved XP version - nothing more !

Would I suggest to spend money on it if you already have XP ? NO

It is 30% slower than XP on a dual boot system (ie identical hardware).
The only good thing there is about Vista is the calendar.

Best not to come to a support newsgroup for a view on if something is good
or bad.
The majority of people here have a problem - there are however million so of
happy users out there.

Think - you would not go stand in a doctors waiting room to decide if the
human race was fit and healthy

Go read some more balanced review of the product by reputable reviewers on
quality sites.
