Microsoft’s Vista Has Arrived!!

Are you ready to drop your old Windows operating system and switch to the latest and greatest system now fresh and new for your PC? Well, it was five years in the making, and now Vista, the new Windows operating system from Microsoft Corporation is ready for your viewing (and installation) pleasure online from Microsoft or from your local computer and office supply chain (Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, CompUSA, OfficeMax and more). Will you upgrade, or won’t you? Here are the details, and then you decide.

Before you decide to upgrade, you should visit Microsoft.com and see a demo. My first impression is that Vista is much more graphics oriented than earlier Windows, and almost Mac like. And the Mac graphic interface is one reason why it is so popular with graphic designers and artists. Alls Vistas features are enhanced over older Windows version and many new tools are provided, including graphics, sound and entertainment features.

Basically, Windows Vista, is easier to use, with better access to your data, more secure and offers more support for the business user. It also includes new and improved tools, and is much more multi-media oriented. Four versions are available depending on your need: Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate and Business. Also, features listed below vary depending on the edition you purchase.
