Technically internet explorer removed the vulnerabilities to a great extent which were exploited by malicious hackers to gain control on remote systems. Now a crash of Internet Explorer would not freeze Windows and you had better control over your browsing. No default administrator account : In the new version of Windows, the 'default' administrator account was removed and that meant that a remote user would not be able to connect with the username 'administrator' because there was no such account, unless of course except when the user created one.
This made the security rise quite more than previous releases. Computer operates in limited account : Most of the computer users are unaware that running a computer with an administrator account makes the computer vulnerable to attacks and gives the programs running on the computer the ability to 'do-anything'! A program could read and delete any files, change permissions or do other automated tasks as it wanted because of the administrative abilities it posses when run from an administrative account.
This was one of the reasons why windows XP got infected by viruses every now and then. Windows Vista removed this situation by making a change in the way the administrative accounts would run. All accounts including the accounts with administrative powers ran in the 'limited' mode unless the user explicitly ran them as an administrator.
When programs wanted to do some activity which only an administrator could do, it would open a dialogue box asking for the confirmation from the user. In case the user is not running one of those accounts which possess administrative powers, it would ask for the password and only after supplying the correct password, the program requesting the action would be allowed to continue.
While Windows XP could do it well, Vista was designed to do it better. The Windows Vista kernel was programmed in a way that it would be able to prefer the multimedia programs more than the other programs running on the system.
While the technical details may not be clear to the users of different classes, it is worth a mention as an overview that Vista was programmed to 'notice' the usage of the processor. As multimedia applications make more use of the processor, Vista preferred those applications than others. This made Vista handle more multimedia than windows XP and in a better way.
It was great when Windows 95 was launched because it came with the features which made it work better. On the other hand, Windows Vista had different needs.
It also has a new look. While Vista looks good it has very high system requirements and many of the older systems find it hard to deal with the high demand Vista requires of them, thus while it gives you a better look and infinitely more driver and options it does take a high performance system to get the best out of Vista. The biggest difference between Vista, XP and Linux is Vista's access and security, offering you a lot more options in securing your data and computer from other users. Visually Vista is also more user friendly displaying more information on the screen than ever before.
Many users can access a single document from various system at the same time. There are no differences between the two in this respect.
While Vista was suppose to be the upgrade to XP, it had a lot of problems during the first launch and it took awhile to fix everything.
Vista is suppose to run faster, and use less resources on your system. But Vista failed and Microsoft then released Windows 7 as the replacement to Vista. Due to the length of time between the releases of Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Windows Vista ditching support for some legacy technologies, there are many devices that will not function in Windows Vista but work in Windows XP.
Obviously, if you upgrade to Windows Vista, you will have Windows Vista. What is diffrenat Windows Vista and xp pro? XP, if you can scratch Vista and go for Windows 7. Windows Vista was the operating system that followed Windows XP. Most hardware that has a driver for Vista should also have a driver for Windows XP. They are "compatible" in the sense that many applications that run on Windows XP will run on Windows Vista.
Windows Vista is notably far more secure than Windows XP. Obviously it can run Windows XP applications. Windows XP is better. Vista is a better at running games, but it is slower and more problematic than XP. XP, Vista and Windows 7. Vista and XP are both previous versions of the Windows operating system. The current version of Windows is Windows 8. Yes, Vista was released as the replacement for XP. Windows XP and Windows Vista differ considerably in regards to their security architecture, networking technologies, management and administration, shell and user interface, and mobile computing.
Windows XP has suffered criticism for security problems and issues with performance. If you don't require Bitlocker encryption or the ability to connect to a corporate domain, Windows 7 Home Premium will do the job nicely. You should also bear in mind that support for 'home' versions of Vista, and that includes 'Ultimate', will end in , where Windows 7 support will still be ongoing. In my opinion, you would be better advised to go to Windows 7 now, and miss out on the Vista step..
