Vista Upgrade Adviser - A Pictorial Analysis

[DavidR]

Wow that is quite a list, almost makes you wonder what they spent the last five years doing

For me the worst isn't mentioned, the disparity in the XP Home to Vista Home Basic version, to get the same overall functionality (excluding those listed above) you would have to get the Vista Home premium.

But what grips me more is being ripped off in the UK, when the dollar/pound ratio is almost 2 to 1 the $149 vista home premium 'upgrade' costs £149.99 at anything like the rate of exchange this should be about £80. I guess I will have to check out ebay if I ever get around to upgrading to vista.

I'm so excited about Vista, that I gave my new HP box with the free upgrade to Vista Basic to one of our kids, who needs to replace a Win 98 machine.

I'm back to using my old HP 512n with 384 meg of RAM. The windows partition is a little slow (as always), but Linux really flies.

Edit:

Features in XP excluded from Vista

Some features present in Windows XP are no longer present in Windows Vista...

...Look them over and if you use any other those, you may not want to "upgrade" to Vista.

Thanks for posting this Bob, very interesting.

I  used this tool and  got no problems, then started to install and it then had problems, I had to delte nero burn and mcaffee firewall. It also  now will not let em run  avast but have  deleted it and doing a complete reinstall and scan. Hopefully this fixes this issue as I love avast.
