I'm getting a new computer, and I'm not sure which version I should get. I'm currently using XP Home edition.
Are there any big differences?
Are they annoying or an improvement?
Are there any huge visual differences that are going to take a lot of getting used to?
How customizable is it?

this question is a question of our time, and should be up for debate until the next release of windows (after vista).
Currently, there are too many incompatibilities (hardware and software related) with Vista for it to be practical for daily use.
Once most of these are resolved, it can truly be tested.

i in my view like Vista now. If people are recreation enthusiasts, then they hate Vista because there are not many video games for Vista, yet they do no longer understand that they could actual-click the icon and click compatibility tab, and make it properly perfect with domicile windows XP Sp2. Vista isn't as buggy because it grow to be once at the same time as it got here out. After SP1, Vista has more advantageous very much, imo.

Stay with xp you are already used to it. I have just watched the launch of Vista in London and it is clear that it will take a lot of getting used to. It's overpriced, and it has 50million correction dialogs built in for restoring any errors. I'm staying faithfull to xp.

Ya there is a big differnece :-
Although the cost fo both of them is nealy same but vista requires a high configuration.I read this moths chip article and it says that u should have atleast 2 gb of ram .Although it works in 512 also but..........................
Vista is very gud and it has a very gud look but u can get the smae thing in windows with many softwares.

the true ups and downs of Vista . if you dont know how too install vista then you will have a lot of problems
1 you have to make sure you have the right hardware
2 you have to make sure your hard drive has free space for vista .
3 if yoiu dont back up your files before you install vista there gone for good 4 if you dont have your windows xp / drivers back up cd's/ then there is no way back ..
4if you have a system restore recovery /cd / system recovery partion on the hard drive .when you install vista say good by to your recovery parion and the system recovery cd's they will be of no use too you then your computer software that came installed on your computer is gone for good
