http://windows.about.com/od/updating...dows_vista.htm
Now those in the Vista pro camp please write me a few lines why a company will risk both its IT structure, costs, and lose person hours. To have
Sophisticated graphics aero whoop
Better search and organization tools nothing special
Improved security uac will save the world
Easier access to information and applications really hard to start apps in xp cheers
New multimedia functions and tools they have redesigned media player lets buy it now!!!
Improved system tools for backups, updates, and more back up is well covered by most I.T departments anyway.
Sounds great but doesn't do it for many Directors having natty graphics or better multimedia tools on office and field based staff pcs.
Memory is not the problem its only about 30 quid extra with dell to ensure its 2gb if its not already.
Im sure if i had my laptop from work sent to me with Vista i would not even notice (ie it works its not bad would do the job)
But its like Vanila =Vista whats the point. A bit like the liberals they are there but i wouldn't miss them if they were not.
