Windows Vista Review

It’s been five years in the making. Hundreds of thousands of man hours have gone into its development. Millions of words have already been written about it. Some have already written it off, others can’t wait to get their hands on a copy. Finally it’s here. This is the latest episode in the Microsoft soap opera. This is Windows Vista.

..Should you upgrade or stick with XP? For anyone into gaming the answer is straightforward. In fact the question isn’t whether you should consider upgrading, but when to do it. Once DirectX 10 games become widespread, there’s going to be no alternative.

..For the rest of us, the question of whether to upgrade or not is more tricky. If you’re happy with what XP does and don’t fancy upgrading an ageing system just yet, there’s really not much reason to upgrade.

..Others may disagree with me, and they’re entitled to their opinions, but I like Vista, I don’t want to go back to XP, and I’m prepared to give it the thumbs up.
