Windows Vista - Why should I upgrade

Microsoft has done it again. Introducing their latest version of windows Operating System for PCs. The big question here is if one should upgrade to Windows Vista or just sit put and be content with the good old XP and wait it out until the market has tried and tested the newer operating systems. While most people in the fray will definitely decide to wait until Vista has passed the test of fire until they finally decide to upgrade some people have taken the plunge and have had mostly satisfying experiences. For one almost all of them have stated that it is advisable to do a clean install instead of 'upgrading' from XP to Vista.

The advantages of changing to Windows Vista are many. To begin with Vista contains a radically revamped Windows Explorer with integrated Desktop Search capabilities that makes locating files folders and information a very simple task. Windows Vista now has a networking stack that supports IPv6 and is completely re-written. Windows services now have an increased two-way firewall protection. Newly architectured audio, and display features that make multimedia an even more enjoyable experience and a power management system more advanced than any OS. Apart from this there are the User Account Control, IE7 Protected Mode, and Bit locker Drive Encryption, Windows Photo Gallery, with industry-standard support for saving metadata in image files, excellent backup tools, including the ability to recover previous versions of a file, Super Fetch, Ready Boost, and other performance-enhancing innovations and not to mention Tablet PC support.

Now most people will argue that XP already has most of these features and they are very satisfied with the working of XP but this might just be the case of 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't know'. XP does have most of these features, however, Vista has improved on the performance of XP in Many ways besides Vista has been designed to suit individual needs such as Home, Office, Professionals, which means that you can choose exactly which version of Vista you need. Bugs will be there, but in the ultimate analysis - Vista seems to be here to stay.
