what is the benefits of windows vista over 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.

right now i am not using vista.But i have the Home Basic version whick i downloaded from the torrents.But there is a general opinion that all these versions are trial offres so until i am sure i am going to continue with XP

My computer tech told me to wait until the second version of vista comes out because all first version have bugs to be ironed out as XP and others had...

It won't be long before a computer sold with XP will have a coupon good for a copy of Vista when it is released. Look for that about September / October to fuel the holiday buying. I would wait for that at least. Vista is a quantum leap ahead. happy mylot day.
