Windows Vista is the newest edition of Microsoft operating system released. I have read a lot about Windows Vista but I haven’t personally used it. I still use Windows XP and I am comfortable with it. If I were to upgrade to Windows Vista, I will surely need to upgrade my hardware which would cost me a lot of cash. I am more than satisfied with Windows XP and I don’t have any intentions of upgrading to Windows Vista any time soon, unless it is absolutely necessary. Windows Vista takes up too much RAM and too much processing power and if I were to upgrade to Windows Vista now, I would surely have to upgrade RAM or use ReadyBoost feature which is not that great to tell you the truth as a flash memory is much slower than a RAM.
For a new users, they would definitely need a lot of vista help as lot of things are different in a Windows Vista Operating system if you compare it with Windows XP excluding the obvious one (Visual look). The minimum RAM requirement for Windows Vista is 1GB but you will need atleast 2GB of actual ram for a Windows Vista to perform up to par. Well you can find a lot of useful information about Windows Vista on this vista forum. Did you know Windows Vista was actually known as Windows LongHorn when it was in the development state!!
For a person who has just upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista, this Windows vista forum might be a helpful place to look for information and/or converse with other people who also use Windows Vista. There are lots of version of Windows Vista and it can be quite expensive to upgrade. To be accurate there are five versions of Windows Vista.
- Windows Vista Ultimate
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Windows Vista Business and
- Windows Vista Enterprise
Windows Vista Ultimate edition has it all so if you want a full Vista experience from both media and business world, you should choose Windows Vista Ultimate.

I feel so stupid since I got Vista. I think I despise it and wish I still had XP! Doing even the simple operations requires learning a whole new way of doing things. For example, I have the home version and I can’t even figure out how to create a basic Excel spreadsheet. There is no such thing as File, New anymore. If this is supposed to be more intuitive, I must be short on intuition. I am seriously considering wiping out Vista and reloading my brand new Toshiba laptop with XP, even if I have to buy it separately. The learning curve is just too much for this forty-something! Plus, my wonderful little Lexmark 7170 all-in-one will not work with Vista and the blogs say Lexmark has no plans to update the driver! Great! Tell me again why Vista is an upgrade?
