Latest Gadget Reviews

This is an unbiased personal review of the new windows operating system just released called Microsoft Vista. And it is simply my attempt at helping you to learn more about Microsoft Vista from a new basic users perspective. Readers should do more research and come to their own conclusions before they upgrade or buy Microsoft Vista. With that being said, I hope to help you learn more about Microsoft Vista using the version of Windows Vista that I actually own: Microsoft Windows Home Premium. I contend that this is the best version for a new Windows Vista computer. Especially if you are a basic user. This is because the basic version does not include Aero and Flip 3D.

Since Microsoft Vista came pre-installed on my computer this review will also be based on that premise. This review will help you if you have bought a new computer or you are thinking of buying a new computer with Microsoft Windows Home Premium installed.

Once you turn on your computer, you will immediately see the difference between Windows Vista and previous Windows operational systems. You will notice that the whole entire desktop is easier to read, the screen will be more lit up and the colors are nothing less then spectacular.

You will boast to friends and colleagues about the ease of use. It is a breeze to navigate around the desktop and it comes with a really nice gadget side bar which has a clock and games you can play among many other nifty statistic type programs. You will find that using and sharing your files is a breeze.

You will also love Vista’s Photo Gallery which actually comes standard with the package. You can organize photos to your hearts content.

Another feature comes standard with Windows Vista and that is a great Media Center. You’ll be able to view all those great photos in a slide show and show off for friends and family. Windows Vista Media Center is very advanced and you will literally be shocked by all you can do with it. I have not tired it as of yet, but I have heard you can even record your favorite TV shows on DVD using Windows Vista Media Center.

The Windows Aero Interface is very new and you will love the Flip 3D effect which gives you an opportunity to use your mouse wheel to flip from one windows task to another instantly. The 3 dimensional look has never appeared in any previous version of windows and is high technology indeed.

A real step up with Windows Vista is what they call Instant Search. No more browsing through hundreds of thousands of files. Put in a name and the actual file will appear.

Vista comes with Internet Explorer 7 and some consider this a drawback. On the contrary, it the greatest and best version and even comes standard with multiple tabs. This means you can open many windows on one browser. Since other browsers like Mozilla and Crazy Browser have always had this feature, its good to find that Microsoft has finally stepped up to the plate.

If you would rather speak than type Windows Vista Voice Recognition works wonderfully.

Even the CD Burning Software that comes standard with Windows Vista is improved.

An exciting new feature on Windows Vista is the new movie maker. If you would like to make movies or slide shows for YouTube then you will want the Windows Vista Movie Maker.

The Screen Saver functions on Windows Vista are also advanced to say the least. In fact you can even combine all the screen savers together and create a screen saver slide show.

Have your networking equipment all ready to go? Great, because setting up your home network has never been easier as as well. Get connected to more then one computer with ease and put everyone in the family on the internet using one internet connection.

Additionally, safety comes first with Windows Vista! Windows Vista has increased protection significantly. While you are already safer using Windows Explorer 7, Windows Vista security also includes Parental Controls

In conclusion, you will find working with Windows Vista a positive experience. It will make computing a great deal easier for you in the long run and you will be a lot safer on the internet. Certainly, Windows Vista has been released long enough now, so that many of the incompatibility issues have been resolved. You will not regret getting a computer with the Windows Vista Operational System installed. The only advice I would offer is be patient with yourself and others as you learn more about Microsoft Vista and new things. Learning the ins and outs of a new computer with advanced technology can be a wonderful experience and you will have something in your home that you can be proud of for years and years to come.
