Would Vista eventually outwit Linux ?

Vista, the most debated and argued operating system ever launched by Microsoft. It has been long two years since the operating system was in the market but has not been out of the analyst’s hit list.

The battle zone is no new and is never outdated. It keeps the users and visionaries involved in it with something new every time to talk about. In my last feature, I presented you with some reasons to opt for Linux against Vista. But I felt it very partial for the Windows fans.

So this feature of mine will present you with some reasons to stick with Vista (party time for Windows fans).

Starting with the very first reason, no doubt Vista is a RAM eater but I do not think that RAM has ever been so cheaper. So, leaving this fear you can go ahead with Vista.

Secondly, Vista has been complemented by its Service Pack1 that leaves its initial stability and compatibility issues to be an old story. It is now a well polished operating system with a wider hardware support. Even it supports the older hardware.

Windows, being the king of operating system market has a huge amount of software programs written for it only. The list is much larger than the programs written for Linux and MAC OS X.

Agreed, Linux does not require an anti-virus but if the operating system has the widest software support it can be strongly vulnerable. But the good point is that Windows users can craft their own free security suites, from AVG or Avast Free editions, the ZoneAlarm Free firewall and free anti-malware software.

Linux has no support for Wi-Fi but Windows have. The mostly argued reason for not opting Vista is its lacking support for hardware but to it the fact is Vista has support for hardware that is two years older. Also, the market is flooded with hardware that has support for Vista. And, at this point of inflation, hardware has still never been cheaper or more advanced.

Again, if it can be agreed that Vista does not support old drivers; with Vista you can use any number of virtualization programs, including Virtual PC 2007, VMware, Citrix, VirtualBox, Parallels for Windows. Above all if you really need a support for your that old piece of driver you can downgrade to XP.

Supporting Vista against the argument that you can update Linux at single click, I will say that Vista can be automatically updated. It has this feature integrated in it. Also there are many programs that cannot be updated on Linux because they only support Windows.

You cannot set your Linux or MAC OS X for an automatic back-up but you can even set your computer up to make automatic backups to an external hard drive, or an online storage space.

Overall at concluding note, it can be undisputedly said that Vista is the best looking and working version of Windows yet.
