Many Windows users are waiting for the forthcoming version of Windows, Windows Vista, to be launched, while many still skeptical to the upgrade. Before this, I have shared a review of Windows Vista and also some screen shots too.

If you are still having any doubt about the next Windows, Microsoft specially prepared a dedicated page on their website that gives you the confidence to upgrade. Let’s have a look of what Microsoft says about Windows Vista.

Well, I only list some highlighted features as follows:-

• Parental Controls - Parental control features that helps in monitoring and controlling children’s computer usage.
• Fast On and Off - This is what I like the most, according to Microsoft, Windows Vista starts or turns off within only 2 - 3 seconds !!
• Diagnostics - While the current hardware/software diagnostics feature in current/previous Windows is not very satisfying, I really hope this improved version can perform better.
• New look and feel - Well, as usual, a new version of Windows will definitely have a new look and feel. This time, Windows Vista will have transparent application interface as been speculating so far.
• Media Center - Easy-to-use Media Center menu system and remote control of entertainment files such as movies, songs and pictures.
