I am using Windows XP presently. I am really intrigued as to is it really worth it upgrading to this OS, and spending much more on upgrades of harware, like RAM. Graphic cards, etc, when my present OS fulfills all my requirements. Yes, I confess that I really like try anything new in computers. So, I would like to know what are advantages Vista has on XP?

Woow WIndows Vista.. what a hot subject i can say. I have talked a lot in my area with many of my friends and all of them had only positive thoughts about it. I can say that i was blow off by this new windows system. Some things certainly lack to it but this new look which Microsoft has incorporated in it certainly do the money you would give for it. I have waited this new system for 2 weeks and here i am using it. It was pretty hard for me to buy it because in my area it can't be found. So i had to ask a friend from another part of my country to order me. I am so happy using it and all i have are only words of gratitdue. I post here a short description about VISTA. Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features; some of the most significant include an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and completely redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easier to share files and digital media between computers and devices. For developers, Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework out of the box. The .Net Framework makes it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with the traditional Windows API.

If you're really into gaming for computers. i assured you not to try vista right now i guess. there's many issue still come up with this term. i suggest you better still with XP for that. but about upgrading your system. there's no harm in that. people actually upgrade their system once in a year to fulfill their needs in computing.

one of the immediate changes that most user will notice is the interface. for those who has seen or use max os, vista has the similar look and feel. other than that, i think, will only be noticeable once we have use it. for now, it's xp for me.

Dont go for vista just yet, there arnet that many good things in it that will make you want to swtich over to it . I mean you need a t least a gig of RAM as well as a decent graphics card and all you get yout of it is slightly better grphical user interface and maybe direct x 10. On the downside theres the fact that its rprobably still qutie holey in terms of secutrity so i dont think now is quite the time to chagne over to vista yet.
