CNET Asia Review

By Robert Vamosi

Very good

7.4

out of 10

The good: Windows Vista Business does improve some features within Windows XP; fewer system crashes than Windows XP; and Windows Vista offers better built-in support options.

The bad: Windows Vista Business does not put Search on the desktop (it's buried within applications, within the Start Menu); no new software yet written exclusively for Windows Vista; optimized only for the Microsoft Windows ecosystem (for example, RSS feeds from Internet Explorer 7 get preferential treatment); no BitLocker drive encryption; no DVD Maker; and there are too many editions of Windows Vista.

The bottom line: Windows Vista Business is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.

Windows vista is a flop from the start

Sep 5, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Windows defender; an anti virus program is much better
Cons: Need a computer of minimum 2gb RAM to use
Opinion:
Stick to XP pro. Vista is just an XP with all "cool graphics" that serve no user functions. Lags if your computer is less than 2gb RAM.
