Microsoft Windows Vista Features That Stand Out

Windows vista is already creating waves in desktop computing and beyond. It seems different but the fact is users only need to getting used to it.

It is simple; choose an edition, buy or upgrade and start exploring. You can do anything with Vista but I have favorite some of the best things I found cool. Finding files in a few quick clicks is easy. You don't need to remember folder names to be organized anymore. Save time by instantly tracking down any document, photo, e-mail message, song, video, file, or program on your PC using Instant Search.

You can see everything you have open at a glance in Windows Vista. Flip through all your open files and windows with a simple click of your mouse using Windows Flip 3DA-you're just one click away from everything you're working on.

Organizing images and sharing them is easy. You don't have to search through folders to track down the ones you want. Now you can tag your photos with a date, keyword, rating, or any label you choose so you can find them quickly and easily in Windows Photo Gallery. You can also use Photo Gallery to fix and edit photos, and then share them with family and friends through slideshows, e-mail, or prints-so everything you need for photos is in one place.

What is more, making a great home movie just got easier. Use Windows Movie Maker to blend videos and photos into a rich movie, complete with your own soundtrack, titles, and credits. When your masterpiece is ready to share with family and friends, you can easily create a professional-looking DVD in Windows DVD Maker. Similarly keeping track of music and play it anywhere is easier.

Surf multiple waves of the web at once, record and watch TV on your time, bring your TV and PC together and take home entertainment to a new level, Keep the things you need most at your fingertips and help your kids stay safer.

What else, I should be upgrading any moment.

Vista does offer improved media management over XP when it comes to handling photos, videos and music, but the improved functionality it offers can be bought to XP via free open source software.
 
Windows Movie Maker is present in XP and not really a powerful argument in favour of upgrading to Vista (although the Vista version is slightly superior I believe), and again free software with the same (and more) functionality is available.
 
The built in Media Centre is a great feature, if you use your PC as a media centre in your living room, but of little use if you don't.
 
With Windows 7 on the horizon, if you're thinking of upgrading to Vista make sure you have clear reasons why - make a list of things you want to do but can't do without Vista, or that you can do better with Vista than without it.
 
And make sure you have a high spec PC - Vista takes a lot more RAM and processor power to run smoothly than XP does. If you don't have a 1.6ghz processor, 2GB of RAM and a decent graphics card then you might want to steer clear of it - XP will likely run much better on your system.
