Does Microsoft Windows get better and better with future releases such as Windows Vista? Could it be worse?

Of course, or a better way to say it is that with future releases it gets more stable, secure and able to handle and wider variety of hardware as time passes.\n\nNew OS are a necessity as within a few year technology changes so much and people demand different things.  Like Vista which is focusing on current trend of home entertainment, home movies, pictures and using TVs in conjuction with Windows.

unfortunately windows me does not have an upgrade, microsoft are even cutting off all development and support work for it early next month. why..? so that you can get the newer better windows XP or Vista, they consider these to be their better home user products and me is somewhat outdated and too much resources are going into supporting so they are encouraging users to switch.

I think what ever improvements and additions or changes they need they are going to include into Vista, so no worries.\n\nYou know? Flash drive is used as auxilary memory in Vista, and so many new things are there in that. Also what more we could as with XP. It supports Remote desktop and assistance.

No.  I won't try it until it been out of beta testing for at least a year.  Too many potential problems that only real users under real conditions will find.  And then Microsoft will have to come up with the patches and fixes.  Look at XP..... we're on SP2 and there's talk MS will be releasing SP3 because of the delay in getting Vista off the ground.  No thanks, I don't have the time or desire to do Microsoft's field testing.  Especially since they ain't gonna be paying me for the privilege of messing up a computer.

The latest commercially available version of Windows is Windows XP Service Pack 2. As mentioned above, the next generation of Windows, Windows Vista, is currently in beta testing, but is not available to the general public. The last reports I saw had it due out for general sale in mid-to-late 2006.

Windows Vista is the next version of the Windows operating system after XP.  It is due to be released early in 2007 and is currently in limited beta testing.  It was intended to be released before the end of this year, but instead it is delayed to 1Q 2007.  Instead PC manufacturers will be selling 'Vista Capable' machines with a little Vista sticker and possibly a free upgrade with the PC.\n\nThe main features are added security, new hardware accelerated translucent UI, new digital rights management, etc.  You can read more about it on the Microsoft website.\n\nI'm currently running the beta version and so far I'm intrigued but not necessarily sold on everyone needing the new version.  It requires that you have a video accelerator as a minimum to do most things, and a relatively fast processor.  Most likely you'll need new hardware to run it unless you bought your PC very recently.

Probably never. Windows Vista (late 2006) will come out before Windows XP SP3 will be needed.

Team at Microsoft has put in a lot of hard work on their upcomming OS that is Vista. More security features and would be lot better than the current one. I tested the BETA 1 of Vista and was impressed. But i would personally suggest you to go with VIsta in early 2008. As it would be a new product still they might have to work on many thing even when it would be released. So why not wait and read the reviews. Once when things settle in early 2008 go for it. I am sure you are dying to lay your hands on VISTA but have patience.

Nowhere. You are not a webmaster or a technician.  So you will have to wait a Buy Vista when it comes out later on this year.

Yeah the software will work OK, most games play fine in beta versions.  Vista specific games will come out later

Yes, I'm using Vista right now, actually. And yes, this is a production pc here at my work, which also happens to be my desktop pc. I use beta programs as much as I can so when everyone else here starts using the new versions I can answer  thier questions.

It is called Windows Vista and it may come out like January to February of 2007. and if someone has it, would be downloaded or it's the Beta that just came out. But if you download it, it may have some problems than just wait when it comes out. If you want to download it, wait until it comes out, it's more better when it has come out than when it isn't. \n\nCan you answer a question that I put. Please! really need an answer for that question.
