12/6/2006Heidi Parasye/Vista vs. WinXP3 USER EXPERIENCE Uncomfortable changes to the user interface and menus on Vista. Will illustrate by setting IP address on both systems. Replace the green start button with a round button with a Vista logo and no text. The Start Menu has been reorganized. Sub-menus have changed throughout the OS. IE 7 has a new look, new features and a new navigation menu sure to confuse and frustrate users. No clear instruction on how to handle user access control pop-ups will have users calling the help desk asking what to do.

12/6/2006Heidi Parasye/Vista vs. WinXP14 SECURITY Vista claims that it is more secure than ever, with its 64-Bit Security Enhancements, Kernel Patch Protection and Mandatory Driver Signing. –Vista pops up for confirmation every time critical system features, such network IP address change is requested. Windows XP now has some of the features in Vista with the Service Pack and some of the other enhancements might be available outside of Vista like IE 7 and Office 2007 and Windows Defenders.

12/6/2006Heidi Parasye/Vista vs. WinXP17 Summary Windows XP is still good enough for most people; Until Microsoft officially stops supporting Windows XP, many customers may take a wait- and-see approach until Vista is more widely adopted and "proven" in the business market. Like it or not, Windows Vista will be here by next year, and available pre-installed on PC systems. Then, Windows XP will only be available for another two years before it is discontinued. Do you have any choice?
