Windows Vista upgrade guide – part 1: software – Engadget
Ok, so here’s how this thing works. We’ll compare XP and Vista on a feature-by-feature basis; we’re not going to judge the merit of these features or whether they’ll be more useful to you and your pals, nor are we going to get into the nitty gritty about what they do — there are just too many — but we will tell you whether or not we think there’s anything better going on in Vista than there was before in XP. So…
- Green indicates something about this has improved
- Red indicates something sucks more than it did in XP.
- White indicates either nothing much has changed, or the features are roughly equivalent.
- Notes help out with a little background, where appropriate, and where available, recommend free software for XP that effectively augments the feature in question.
- Many of the features shown here can be found in our comprehensive Vista gallery.
