Microsoft have been working very hard to the sale of the new Vista Operating systems, whilst it won’t be released for Christmas here in Australia, people are being advised that they need to be looking at machines that are vista capable.

However, computer boffins believe vista will cause a massive hardware purchase spree as computer users buy Vista and suddenly find out they need better or more improved hardware to bring the machine up to a reasonable running speed and take advantage of the all the multimedia applications. When Microsoft released Windows 95, many people discovered that they suddenly had to upgrade their machines or buy new ones to take advantage of the full Windows ’95 experience. Hardware manufacturers are banking on this same spending on hardware to occur when Vista is released to the general public.

Microsoft this time have decided to release 5 versions of Vista to provide the user a more customized Windows experience. The interface of Vista looks a lot like a cross between the windows desktop, apple desktop and several Linux desktop environments.
