Want to know exactly what will Windows Vista bring extra to your
desktop compared to Windows XP? How about if we narrow it down? Let's
just compare Windows XP Professional and Windows
Vista Business editions. The images included at the bottom
deliver a visual representation of the differences between XP
Processional and Vista Business. In this regard, you will notice that
the features that are shared by the two operating systems are not
mentioned in particular.
The images at the bottom focus instead on what Windows Vista Business
delivers on top of Windows XP Professional. In this context, all the
features that are marked with the blue check sign are new to Windows
Vista Business.
Automated Backup, Anti-spyware tool and the User Account Control are
some of the new security and backup capabilities that were not
previously available in Windows XP. The Sidebar, the Aero interface and
the Automated Help are designed to increase efficiency and
productivity. The new Sync and Mobility Centers and the Windows Meeting
Space mark the evolution of the mobility and networking capabilities in
Vista Business. Windows ReadyBoost, Windows SuperFetch and the new code
base increase the performance and reliability of the operating system.
Additionally, there are features that are available in Windows XP
Professional but that have been enhanced in Windows Vista Business.
Such features are marked by the blue circle for XP and by the green
ball for Vista. The Firewall, File Protection, the Search capabilities,
Internet Explorer, Network support, Remote Desktop, Maximum RAM
supported and the Setup have all evolved in Vista Business. For the
rest I'll let the pictures do the talking.
