which is much greater, VISTA or XP?!?!?!?!

Windows Vista has many cool features that XP does not have. One of the leading new features is the startup repair feature. When windows Vista starts booting if it detects an error it automatically goes into the startup repair mode. In this mode it will be able to recover from a corrupt registry, missing windows vista files, driver issues and can even do a hard drive repair and memory test. As a computer technician I can say that windows Vista can do 80% of what I can do on startup repair. This alone makes Vista attractive. A few other great features are the search functions with in Vista right from the windows start menu. Another few others would be the Aero interface that lets shows a snap shot of the running programs as you tab between them. Another would be when browsing for programs it’s no longer all across the screen but in on a central location. The four different versions of Vista are also an advantage because business can get a more advanced version for data backup and encryption while normal home users can get the basic and premium versions that will meet their needs. Windows XP has been around for many years. Every new program still works with XP and most likely will for some time. You do not have to worry about any of your existing software not working because you are keeping the same operating system. Because Windows XP has been around the block most of the kinks have been worked out. The operating system as a whole is very stable. People are creatures of habit so not having to learn your way around a new operating system is also a plus. Many companies have proprietary software. Because of this some of those programs will not be compatible with windows Vista. Before getting Vista be sure and ask the software manufacturer you use if you need any updates or if their software supports Windows Vista.

If u going to play a pc game in ur computer, i suggest u that choosing the msxp. let me take an example for u, at present, most of the chips for the personal computer/laptop there r 64 X2, on the other hand to say is that if u'v installed the msvista, the min. runing ram is up to 2M. But i promise that the game i.e. world of warcraft playing in the msxp with 2M ram can bring u much more wonderful feeling.

Vista is for systems which have high capacity of RAM and hard-disks.....It'll be ideal for vista.. otherwise stay with old XP, which is quite good for drivers and softwares than currently VISTA doesnt support many softwares.

Windows Vista is just a new one and it needs some time to be popular. Just like XP. When XP was out, I didn't like it at all but after using it for several months it was my favourite. I haven't used vista yet but I believe it will be better by time, just wait for the service packs and try to get used to work with it. Compatibility problems needs some time.

personally i like xp beacuse i can install software that does not work on vista but the only vista is good for the looks. Also in xp you can make a backup so save your restore files. And you save 8gb if you stay with xp also you xp will go faster than vista only vista would go the same if you have a good processor and 2gb ram. hope this helps

I never suggest you to choose vista, I have a very bad experience with it. Its not user friendly
