Out with the Old and In with the New

Windows Vista has been in the market for more than a year now and although most PC users are still hesitant to upgrade their systems to the latest Microsoft offering, it has gained popularity among Windows converts and newbies alike. They may say it’s just a prettier version of the past operating systems but this baby has more to offer than just her looks. Yep, it has brains too. No wonder it requires more RAM, man.

To start with, Vista has an integrated security system that makes it easier to lock access from hackers and malwares alike. No need to shell-out more for Anti-virus and Firewall thus saving your money.

In terms of connectivity, Vista also leads by a mile with it’s self diagnostic and connection repair feature. You just need to go to Network Sharing Center and click on the “X” mark between that blocks your connection to the internet and it fixes itself for you. No need to go to the hassle of calling your internet service provider which could take minutes of your precious time. Wireless access is also a breeze since it automatically detects it for you and it is also loaded with encryption software so your data is safer even if you are on a public network like Starbucks.

Multitasking feature is also up by a notch and you don’t need to go to each window anymore to check on it. Just point your mouse on the specific tab on your taskbar and it will show you a preview of that window. You can also use the awesome windows switching preview which really fascinates even the non-tech savvy like my grand ma.
