The folks at CNET have givenWindows Vista Ultimatea exhaustive testing . Their verdict ? Buy it if it ’s already installed on a new PC , but jump it if you ’re merely upgrading . Though they found MS ’ new OS very unchanging , they felt there were n’t enough new features in it to merit an upgrade . Also , chance are if you do upgrade , you ’ll need a stronger PC to take reward of the newfangled features . In other Good Book , that old , moth-eaten Dell ai n’t gon na cut it .
Among the thing they did like …
were the OS ’ unexampled Instant Off button which caches all your open files and let you close down at once . There were also better support options throughout the OS , with a much - improved Help section that helps with troubleshooting . But in the end , Vista left CNET with that sinking “ is that all ” feeling .
“ Compared with Mac OS X 10.4 , Windows Vista feels ungainly and not very intuitive , almost as though it ’s still based on DOS . ”
Ouch . And withLeopardcoming up , it looks like the crack between the two operating systems will only get spacious .
