I finally had a chance to use Windows Vista--and only Windows Vista on my notebook computer this summer when I brought it with me as the OS for my Dell XPS. Honestly, I was a bit dubious about using Vista on the Internet for the first time as I'd heard some negative comments from the Internet and I wasn't sure if it was up for carrying me through many hours use each day.
Knowing that I couldn't go and use another computer-being away from home for an extended period like I was, I felt like "Oh,oh what if I can''t figure out how to use Vista?!" My fears were put to rest though after I took it for a spin a couple times.
Once I got acquainted with the important modifications I realized Windows Vista works much like XP--only better. In fact it works so much better that I was a bit taken aback recently find a very similar (like, exactly the same) great feature added to the latest update of a certain other browser.
It's a great feature wherever you use it and it absolutely makes working at the computer feel less like work--in other words Windows Vista enhances the user's experience by being more intuitive than it's predecessor and is visually much more appealing, too.
If you use Windows Vista Small Business Assurance you would probably like to note a couple fast facts about what Window has to say about it:
Stronger security. Windows Vista SP1 has fewer than half the security vulnerabilities of Windows XP. It's also 60% less likely to be infected by spyware or malware than Windows XP SP2. Finally, Windows Vista is the most secure Windows release to date.

Agreed.
And I appreciate it even more now that I'm primarily on my desktop PC.

It takes a while to get used to (like anything) but the OS seems much quicker and I like the intelligence with pre-pooping login credentials.
