Windows Vista is all the rage at the moment (and now even the Sunday Eve Column is about it). I don't think there's a single piece of beta software that has ever been discussed as much as Windows Vista. Obviously this makes sense, since Windows powers roughly 95% of the world's desktop computers; hence an update to that system will surely spark some heavy debates. Personally, I'm indifferent towards Vista. Read on for why.

1) apart from aero I didnt see anything else new ?
2) The search functionality is better then spotlight ? are you sure about that?
3) NX in avaliable in winxp ?

the funny thing is if you follow wikipedia link to new features it only has 3 ??? and even those arent great ? so.... why upgrade unless you just want to ? there isnt anything really significant ?

Dude, you looked at the first section of the article, saw 3 things, and thought those are the only 3 new things?

Please do some more research, or at least more reading, before replying. It's things like this that get FUD spread about Vista.

I did not say it was better. I said it was more advanced. There's a world of difference between the two.

sadly, in marketingspeak "more advanced" == better...
