Vista slowly developed to one of the best operating systems out there.
A lot of people ignored the fact that Microsoft had to delay the development of Vista a long time, because they had to take care of some serious security attacks on Windows XP. I am not searching for excuses for Microsoft, I certainly agree that they shouldn’t have released an unstable product like Vista after 5 years of development. However I think that bashing Vista is not so fair after all.

Here are 40 reasons why I think that Vista is one of the coolest OS’s out there!

Microsoft is currently developing three other operating systems aside from Vista.
They plan to split it up, so that there is a Windows for the average consumer and a Windows for companies.

Did you know of the Vista Tool “Snipping” ?

This tool makes it possible to take screenshots in a matter of seconds. Earlier Windows versions only offered a “Print” key to capture screenshots. With Vista you are able to do a custom selection anywhere on your screen to copy it anywhere.

You can find the snipping tool under “Start/All Programs/Extras/Snipping tool”
Once you opened it you can draw on your screen or do a selection with predefined forms.
Pretty cool, huh?

Are you still using Windows XP and want to upgrade?
