Windows Vista is the next major version of Microsoft Windows, the proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft. Prior to the announcement of the Vista name on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia. According to Microsoft, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is currently November 2006 for business editions, and January 2007 for consumer editions[1]. These release dates come more than five years after the release of Windows XP, Microsoft's current consumer and business operating system, making this the longest time span between releases of Windows. Vista will be one of the most substantial updates in the history of Windows in terms of new features and under-the-hood changes, and is thought to be the largest and most costly software development project in the history of computing.\n\nwell the requirement like min 256 MB RAM 3GB hard disk for installation files and must graphics card make it very costly for home and pc user.So in the begining when in 2006 nov it wil release.its a costly affair but graphics and user interface is highly improved so its worth to have vista if u have good money in pocket.

Look to your local PC stores and get one built - you'll be able to get it built to best suit your needs and it will save you a bundle. You don't need to be some sort of computer expert - they should take however much time is needed to sit down with you and go through all your options. \n\nDoing this will give you a computer to rival anything off the shelf, it will no be weighed down with a whole heap of proprietary/3rd party software which you'll never use (and will slow down most systems anyhow), and will save on the wallet, which means you'll be able to afford to get the bells and whistles which otherwise would have been out of your price-range.\n\nOh, and just a tip in regards to Vista - get the full copy on disc. Will save a lot of headaches in the future if you ever have to reformat your system

Seems to have some decent improvements, I'm going to get it only because it's new, not necessarily because it is so great I can't live without it.  Check out this video...\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3AwI1mKrLs&search=vista\n\nThe parental controls thing seems like it should prevent the kids from screwing stuff up if that has ever been a problem.

forget eBay, as you'll likely get the bare-minimum sale price. Have a look through your local trading papers and see what the average price is for similar models, and then judge your selling price accordingly.\n\nKeep in mind you'd want to get in quickly as ppl are already beginning to flood the market as many get ready for Vista

Beware of getting the "latest" in technology, especially when it comes to software. Generally, the first released version is alot like beta testing. In a beta test they give it to you mostly free because they want YOU to find out what's wrong with it before they ship it off.  I usually wait until the latest version of Windows has a service pack before upgrading. Delay acquisition!!

Widows 98,98Se are both DOS based. NT 4.0,W2K,XP,Server 2003,and Vista are based on the NT kernel and can run the NT file system (NTFS) and are far more stable than 98,98SE. I think that for a older computer W2K is the sweet spot. With 128MB of ram or more it is hard to beat. I just don't like XP very much - I know people will say I am wrong - But I Love W2K!!!

It depends on what you are using it for.  Both have pros and cons.  There are security holes in both.  You only hear about the Microsoft holes because most people use it.

i'm using it for almost one and a half months and i can say it worths trying. if you are happy with mozilla firefox, you'll love the IE7. but the problems are;\n\nsince it is beta version, some sites don't support that version. i had just seen one site for this period, and it had given an error like "we don't support the browser you are currently using". the reason was easy to find, browser was just a beta version, which has too much possible security losses, and i was trying to reach my bank account.. i haven't had any problems other than that for 1 1/2 months.\n\nmy vote is yes, give it a chance, i bet you'll like it.

Vista should be out early 2007, if all goes well. There's already a beta for it, however.\n\nVista is an operating system, but I assume you mean hardware. You probably need 256 MB RAM, 1ghx or more processor, and 5GB hard drive space. But why waste your time with Windows? Get Linux! It's FREE!

you could always use open office if you don't want to part with any money and it is Microsoft compatible

It is most absolutely worth the price - what other operating system supports as much hardware and software as Windows? It's a bargain.  As for piracy, it has been reduced significantly in the latest versions; people can't download updates now unless the Genuine Advantage tool verifies the OS is legitimate.  As for Linux, it works ok for certain applications, but it isn't as flexible and easy to use for a mass audience as Windows is.  Also, try getting support for Linux - I have used it for a long time for a couple of specific server applications and if I have ever had an issue with it, the Linux community has been very hostile about providing support; many of them have an elitist attitude.  And people think Windows is buggy?  Linux has tons of security holes, driver issues, software that won't run without days of tweaking.  I speak from experience.

they're kind of vague, as it hasn't been released yet, but i think it would work.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/hardware/vistahardware.mspx
