Firstly we need to look at what Microsoft intends to give us, is there anything left to take out?
Well DWM and Aero seem to be the main selling point of Vista. It makes it look visally stunning, it enables you to ENJOY using your computer. Who knows maybe these new toys will somehow tie in with other parts of the computer, and make the whole thing more accessible.
The sidebar was taken away, IT HAS COME HOME! The idea in this is to complement the Taskbar and define Vista as different from XP, why navigate around the Start-menu or hunt through your computers system, when it can simply be tidied away into a corner.
Next we see the organization and indexing of files is much better with Virtual folders, the idea being we can leave something categorized and even save Searches as Virtual folders, for future reference.
Vista is also going to contain a newer and more improved Firewall, based on what was actually meant for XP, we will get finally a Two way Windows Firewall!!!
How quick is Vista going to be? Microsoft reckons that Vista-made computer systems will boot in less than half the time it takes an XP computer to boot now, this means we can get more time out of everything we do, and time can mean profits and more work done, if the whole OS is as fast as promised, Vista will take XP off the map. It seems Microsoft don't want the Windows 2000 Scenario where people hang on, or even the 98 thing, some people still use that ya'know.
The sad thing is how Microsoft are selling this, they are knocking the likes of Windows XP, which may result in people hanging on to it tighter...
What is your opinion?
