"So...what's the point?"
1.5 starson by ThPengiunsRCominPros: It still does everything XP already does...
Cons: Uses more resources, nothing impressively new.
Summary: Let's be honest, all that Vista turned out to be is a flashy looking version of XP. In some ways, that's great, but honestly, so what? I don't see any reason why people should have to get a high-end PC (which you'd have to if you want to run Vista) so that they can simply get a fancier looking XP. The focus of an OS isn't supposed to be how it looks. It's supposed to be stability, security, and interface. I saw no noticeable stability improvements and the interface is essentially the same, just a new skin. Want a flashy looking XP? Buy Windowsblinds. Don't waste the money on an OS overhaul istead.

There is no need to upgrade to Vista!!! XP is one of the best operating systems that they have come out with....It is not worth it all!!Even if they do cancel XP's support it is still not worth the upgrade!

It's so much more than a new "skin". The interface has been improved so be more usable, and it certainly is. Many of the new improvements save time, and the interface makes Windows a lot more enjoyable to use.<br><br>I think it's funny that you said "It's supposed to be stability, security, and interface" and that's exactly what Vista offers. It's very stable, has made huge strides in security, and has a far more useful, usable, and more beautiful interface. The average home user has been waiting for this version of Windows for quite a long time.
