| The Bottom Line | Microsoft releases the first public beta of its new Windows Vista operating system. | Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use. | We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks. | ||
