Colorful - more colorful – Vista. Vista places emphasis on current graphical trends, which seem to please the eyes of most users. Even the new features like the central search, the mobility center and improvements of the Windows explorer have clear advant...
Abstract: All good things are worth waiting for. Well the question is, have we received exactly what we were waiting for? An ambitious mission from Redmond with high expectations, nearly perfect opportunity to create an OS which will wipe out the competition eve...
