Answer 1

Hi, as a Microsoft Student Partner in Canada. Windows Vista is a superset and completely new Operating System than Windows XP. They have many advantages over XP.

If your interested what Windows Vista has to offer, the following features are pretty reasonable to argue with:

Theoretically, you would need a compatible video card and compatible devices as well as software. Microsoft Corporation placed a NEAT utility online that precisely performs a checkup on your current PC. Download this small application which tells you a detailed information about your current PC Statistics if it would run on Vista.

Please refer to this website to know which hardware would be compatible.

Concerning your post, it seems your using legacy hardware and software, and you want to seek modern technology which needs modern hardware and modern software. That is what Vista was made for, if you wish to run old software, and old hardware, might as well stick to Windows XP or any OS your looking for.

If your keen on money, there is an opensource Operating system called ReactOS which imitates Windows and free.

Remember this one thing, if you seek modern technology which is strictly made to push current society into a new generation then you would need to do an upgrade.

Photoshop is CS2 (couple of years ahead of 6.0) and Adobe stopped support of 6.0 as well as Flash 5.0. There is Flash 8 and now Flex. And There is 64bit Video cards now and 2GB Memory enabled. So think of it this way, if your looking forward for old technology, stick with the OS that it was made for not an OS which primary aim is to use modern technology.

Good Luck
