Windows Vista FAQ 4. On the continuum of Windows upgrade importance from Windows 95 (a giant leap forward) to Windows Me (a step backward), where does Vista belong?
Somewhere in the middle: Call it a medium-size stride in the right direction. In terms of new features, it offers lots of small yet worthwhile improvements–but no breakthroughs. On the other hand, if the upgrade’s new emphasis on security makes it less susceptible to viruses, spyware, and hacker attacks, that would be a strong argument in its favor. Windows Vista offers better support than XP for today’s powerful hardware, such as 64-bit CPUs and cutting-edge graphics cards, providing the structural basis for potent applications that could never have been written for Windows XP. As those applications begin to appear, Vista should grow into a more compelling upgrade than it is on day one.
