I am thinking about upgranding to vista, but with all the great advantages, i need to think aobut the disadvantages as well. My first question is, will i have to upgrade anything on my computer? I have heard yes i do , but im not sure.( i have a dell demensio E310 desktop) Vista looks great, am i being fooled? What kinds of programs and applications come with? Does it come with microsoft office? what are the pros and cons of vista.
P.S I am getting Windows Vista Home premium

Microsoft has a program called Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor that they suggest you download. It looks over your computer and gives you the exact answer.
Beware your printers, scanners, and similar peripherals may have to be replaced, and you might need to buy new versions of some of your favorite software, and you surely need more memory because VISTA consumes an incredible amount. If you have a home network you will have to add networking programs to any XP computers so VISTA can network with them.

I would wait a minimum of 3 years for microsoft to work the bugs out of it before upgrading, As a microsoft beta tester I can tell you for certain that the o/s is so full of holes it makes swiss cheese jealous!

Vista does not include Office.
