Vista is Finally Here

After the long wait Microsoft's new operationing system is finally here. After the five year time difference since their last release they say that this is the biggest one yet. Although Vista will not be avalibe in the home till the end of January, Microsoft says that this could not come at a better time because people need a better more useful system to organize all of their growing information. Not only will this new program make PC's more secure and graphically advanced, but will also include the Microsoft Office 2007 edition. Even though it is predicted that Windows XP will not be overtaken by Vista until 2010 the arrival still holds great anticipation. For home owners though it is believed that Vista is thought of as nice to have, but not a must have on PC's. The real question though is how will this effect the rest of the programing industry? Also, "How will top competitor Apple respond to the new, bigger and better, Windows program Vista?

I admittedly have not been following the development of Vista much the last few months, but I do remember reading a blog by a Mircosoft programmer who said it’s one problem was that the coding for Vista was so large and complicated that it could potentially slow the operating system down more then necessary. For this reason, the programer felt that it might take Vista awhile to catch on until computers improved to the capabilities to run Vista smoothly. How much of this speculation on the programmer’s part is true, I have no way of knowing, but it will be interesting to see the role Vista plays in changing the computer market.
