Ok heres my situation with vista . I dont game on any or either of my pc's except the odd old dos game or somethin like that so i dont need direct x 10 but if you are a hardcore gamer you will want to get vista for direct x 10 after a while
- DirectX 10
- Much better security
- Better interface (not just the Aero Glass - there's Flip3D and more)
- Faster and better search
- Better bundled apps
- Easier networking
- Readyboost
- DreamScene
- SideShow
Among many other things.
As for the security i didnt notice any difference from xp so that isnt a majout concern fore . Also if there was any majour secirity flaws in xp they woul be patched . Also xp securitycant be that bad cos everyone was happy using it before vista
As for the interface , well the novelty off having a new ui wore off after a while and i dont actually like the interface anymore
I didnt find the search any faaster than in xp at all in fact it may have been slower
Well i dunno about the bundled apps cos iused the lite version but i am sure they aint worth a few hundred dollars
Easier networking well i found the network center frustrating at first but i got used to it but it realy wasnt a big issue to me as there isnt anything wrong with xp's networking
Readyboost was kind of ok i will admit but again i can live withouit it seeing as i didnt see any major performance increase using it
Dream scene , i didnt use this but i have seen it in use and tbh it would distract me from my tasks yet MS claim vista is more productive
So yeah for me vista isnt worth it as i use my pc for general stuff with the minimalist gaming even if i wanted i could run the lite version but i am not cos realy dont need it and am not too fond of the ui but everone is different and has different needs , such as gamers need DX10 and other people may want the easier networking so i am not saying nobody should buy vista . I am saying not everyone needs it and ther eis no point paying for something you dont need
