welcome to windows vista®

 We are now living in the Vista era. But, has the world changed yet? Not really, although it's inevitable that it will in the next few years.

Like most other software products, this one will take some getting used to. Especially for users installing it onto an existing system, there are a number of growing pains. But for new system buyers, where Vista comes pre-installed, the advantages are going to be immediately obvious.
Several new and re-engineered PCs incorporating Microsoft's latest operating system have been released, and many more are on the way. Generally speaking, most Vista desktops from gaming machines to all-in-one PCs to low-end systems perform well in performance tests.

The Windows Media Center is incorporated into Vista Premium, making it ideal for media-center and all-in-one desktops.





Since a large part of Vista's appeal is aesthetic, it is important to note that all versions beyond Windows Vista Home Basic are able to run Vista's Aero interface with its cool 3D and translucent effects, provided the PC has the necessary hardware. Most of the new machines come with a couple of gigs of RAM and at least a dual-core processor. Even a low-end Vista Home Premium machine can smoothly run Aero with just 1GB of RAM and shared graphics. A mainstream Vista Premium system with 2GB of RAM and a multimedia keyboard should do well for budding power-users.

In multimedia tests (Windows Media encoding and Photoshop CS2), Vista has fared rather well.

One of the teething pains experienced by users upgrading a system to Vista is the unreliability of drivers. Manufacturers, especially graphic card suppliers are having a hard time optimizing their drivers to work with Vista.

Unfortunately, it's now left to the user to find upgraded drivers from his suppliers even if that means going back to the supplier's website repeatedly until an upgrade is available for download.
