Windows Vista is a new generation operating system released by Microsoft. It makes big revision in traditional Windows kernel and a large amount of optimization for graphical interface of operating system. However, Microsoft seems to neglect hardware updating speed and user experience. Although Windows Vista has beautiful interface, it offers extremely bad user experience. Since the operation of Windows Vista is quite different from that of Windows XP, users have to restudy how to operate Windows Vista, costing much time. More seriously, users are unable to experience enjoyment brought by Windows Vista, because it requires over high demands for hardware. On the contrary, Windows Vista users are troubled by delayed operations. In addition, Vista security is not promoted obviously though it has made much revision for Windows kernel.
