Has anyone used Windows Vista? if so please let me know what are its advantages

Windows Vista is a bad OS needs around 1 gb of ram to run.. i hate it...

I have vista installed on my computer although not much familiar with it's features....but it has lot's of good graphics...I also heard that it is more secure than previous versions of windows.

ya its a mixed combination of Xp & 2000 & nt with all new graphics and other properties u can get it from phazeddl.com surely

im using vista now, and if you ask me the only advantage it has over xp is the "looks". and some neat freebies. but in terms of performance its gonna take a while and some service packs before it can get close to xp. the reson for that performance drop is due to the graphics of vista that takes a lot of resources

I ve heard that the major differnce is in the looks but takes much system resources.So until your system has the latest configuration dont use vista

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.
