Review by Richard J. Garcia

I wouldn’t normally suggest this but do not upgrade! Vista takes the only good thing about Microsoft products - which is the advantage of an interface that you already know - and breaks it. Vista really is different than any of the previous versions of windows but in the worst of ways. Here’s a typical example. Want to do something simple like search for a file? Too bad! They have a much faster version of search with just one problem - no place to enter the search criteria. Overall I think that the only people who have gained from Vista are Apple and Linux users since there should be more defections with the Vista fiasco.
