Windows’ improved operating system

Windows Vista offers substantial new capabilities in security, performance, reliability, and manageability. Vista is just plain cool and looks beautiful, and the desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. The visual sophistication of Vista helps streamline the computing experience by refining common elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen.

When you start using Windows Vista, you will recognize familiar elements such as the Start menu. The Start menu is now faster, streamlined, and more helpful than in previous versions of Windows.

The Start menu features integrated desktop search through a new feature called Instant Search, which can help you find and launch almost anything on your PC.

The new Start menu also helps you navigate across all of the installed applications on your PC. Microsoft has eliminated the slow-performing, cascading “All Programs” view, so the Start menu can help get things started more quickly.

And it is preferable to have a new system with Vista pre-installed.
