diferences between Windows XP and Vista

if anyone use windows Vista, please tell me,
what best to use, Vista or XP?

[Spartan Erik]

vista is a good alternative if you have a computer you never use, it is glitched up, and you want to wipe the OS

however, just for functionality purposes, im staying with XP.. i probably wont get vista until two years after its release when technology gets cheaper

[falco85]

design should be the main key of vista. they are introducing a new user panel and so many graphic cpu-wasting features

[killingprod]

vista can make use ur hard drive a lot better than xp but beta version will be laggy...

hey anyone used VISTa?? does it work great when supporting 64bit application???
and the AERO and its graphic navigation,is it effective in work if we compare it with XP??

I'm not convinced yet. Until I fully use and function with Office 2007 and IE7, I see nothing really from Vista except for its major GUI overhaul.

[Method1246]

Vista seems to only impress me with the new GUI and I'll wait on passing judgment until I use IE7 and Office 2007.

When abouts is Office 2007 set to be released?

IE7 is ok. I have the second beta version and it does have its glitches and I can't go back to the old one (or I just don't know how). But I've learned how to cope with it and I'm suited to it quite well.

IE7 is pretty good. It definitely has bugs, but have a very good implementation of the tabbed browser i am so used to in FireFox (my only reaon to still continue with FireFox). I also found it to be faster, but your mileage may vary.

Vista beta was available for download (not anymore) for a limited period of time. Anyway, you need patience to get it working at the Beta level due to driver issues and such.

Microsoft has provided an upgrade advisor for beta, u can see this here:

I found the GUI to be very slick and fantastic, definitely a step up from the present XP. You may need a good graphics card to get the best out of it, though.

A sneak preview of the UI is available here:

There are a lot of sites with Vista info, just google.
