Microsoft has kept on promising that Windows Vista is way more secured than Windows XP. One of the best experience so far I got with software or operating system is don’t ever believe in what the vendor said, you got to use the software and try out yourself and see whether it works for you or not.
Reviews and users’ experience show that Windows Vista is indeed more secured than any Windows OS. TechBlog shows that User Account Control has saved her life from some trojans try to self-install. So far, we receive pretty good comments for Windows Vista especially its built-from-ground security protection features.
Microsoft, Keep Up the Good Works!

Thanks Giving holidays are coming pretty soon. Well, it might be me only thinking about the upcoming end of the year holidays, but Vista Discuss editors are here to remind you one crucial point when you are ready to shop for your favorite laptops.

Here are the list of laptops which certified by Toshiba as Windows Vista Capable
- Portege M40
- Qosmio G35
G35-AV600, G35-AV610, G35-AV650, G35-AV660 - Tecra M4

Microsoft has given a pretty clear hint that the introduction of Windows Vista operating system will be delayed once again. This time, instead of blaming the development team, Microsoft points her finger to the European Commission saying that the European Commission’s antitrust requirements force Microsoft to delay the birth of Windows Vista in Europe.
However, the representive of European Commision said “It is not up to the Commission to give Microsoft a green light before Vista is put on the market; it is up to Microsoft to accept and implement its responsibilities as a near-monopolist to ensure full compliance with EU competition rules.”
Hence, Windows Vista’s birtdate still remains to be uncertain.

]]>For instance, if you run Adobe Photoshop and Firebox every single day, ten Windows Vista will be smart enough to load these applications at start-up .
Hence, in perfect world, Windows Vista susposingly load programs faster because of SuperFetch technology.
Nevertheless, suse Linux kernel developer Andrea Arcangeli was skeptical about this technology. He said “”It might help on a 128MB system that flushes the cache away very fast, but on a 1GB system I doubt it can make a significant difference, and at first glance, it doesn’t seem to be worth the complexity it would introduce,” the Imola, Italy-based developer said in an e-mail interview.”
Arcangeli also said that “in many cases, preloading new memory means flushing away an existing cache. “So it’s not like it’s a “risk-free” operation,” he said. “It may be a good trade-off but it can actually slowdown the system instead of making it faster.”"
We are going to see whether Windows can really beat Linux in terms of performance.
