A revised version of my thoughts on vista...

Pros
# Startups are a little faster, If you meet the recommended requirements.
# Includes features from the Tablet PC and Media Centre editions of XP.
# Nice glossy look to everything
# Transparency
# BitLocker

Cons
# Overpriced for similar XP features
# Bloatware (though I guess with the large size of hard drives these days it doesn't matter, but still)
# Uses more memory while Idle than XP, Though the memory management architecture is different so it's (Kind of) understandable.
# Security prompts are too annoying (Though they can be disabled, thank god)
# I don't see anything in Vista's DX10 that can't be implemented in DX9 in some form.
# Some games just don't run, or run poorly - hell even some newer ones. :mad: To be fair some newer games run better in Vista than in XP...
# Don't seem to be able to drag the taskbar around the screen, as you used to be able to in previous versions.
# Some hardware and software is not compatable and/or there are no viable replacements.

I use Vista Business at work, though I have to dual boot with XP to use our Invoicing program, since it won't work in Vista, hell I'm even using the latest version (Jan 2008) :laugh:

The Future

Vista will (eventually) be superseded by Windows 7 (Codenamed 'Vienna') , A test build of which was introduced to the US government recently for some reason :confused: It's slated for a 2010 release...
