I was looking for some novelty of the OS Vista, and I found a great analysis on the FT’s Web site. So what can I say, is that I feel there are more and more people who are asking that question about why we should upgrade to Vista. And if you want, I ascertain that the people, who are having this OS installed on their computers, say of the positives points noticed that Vista is a fascinating System with its desktop computing power, and especially the aesthetics of the windows, surfing from a window to another and so on. I ensure that may be in the most cases, the security for those people is not a big deal. Why? They said mostly that Microsoft had some faults on Windows XP, and this will not probably reappear on this new OS because it’s new so Microsoft has in mind that a fault committed in an elder System can not appear for a second time in a new version. So to resume what was said on FT, there is a small report:

• The launch of Vista is a big deal for the computer industry. Personal computer manufacturers such as Dell, chip manufacturers such as Intel and Samsung and makers of every computer-re- lated peripheral from manuals to mice rely on Windows updates that persuade users to upgrade machines. In the five years since the release of Windows XP – the longest gap Microsoft has ever left – the PC industry has suffered.

• Microsoft is not threatened directly: computers still need Windows to function and it will be hard to displace. But users will not upgrade so often and competitors will be able to chip away at Microsoft’s dominance. The open-source Linux operating system, which can be freely used and modified, has taken some market share, particularly for use on servers.

• The danger for Microsoft is that, as people do more on the internet, the desktop computer and its operating system become less relevant. Satisfactory web browsing needs a high-speed internet connection but not much desktop computing power, nor a powerful operating system.

• Vista is not a fundamental change to the Windows we know and very occasionally love. There is no imperative reason to upgrade. Given the internet’s disruptive effect on how people use computers, Vista may mark the point when Microsoft’s operating system monopoly, or at least the importance of that monopoly, begins to slip away.

The moment also marks a turning point in the history of the world’s biggest software company, as Microsoft turns its attention more fully towards a future software industry that is likely to look very different. But the deal to make Vista as the first OS in the world is it possible to be attained?
