Windows Vista is more advanced then Windows xp lets see what’s the difference in it!
1. Images are bigger in vista
Windows xp:
With Windows XP it was possible to create images that would fit easily on a single CD (less than 700MB). Even organizations that added applications, drivers, and utilities to their image typically ended up with an operating system image in the 1GB to 3GB range.
Windows Vista:
With Windows Vista, image size begins at about 2GB—compressed. Once this image is deployed, the size is often around 5GB or more, and there's no way to reduce it. If you add additional applications, drivers, or other files, this image obviously grows even larger.
2. Bitlocker
Windows xp:
Windows XP has . No Bitlocker option
Windows Vista:
Bitlocker Option available Bitlocker drive encryption, Bitlocker on volume
Prevents hard drive from hackers
3. Windows defender tool
Windows Xp:
Windows XP has No Windows Defender tool available
Windows Vista:
Windows Vista has Windows Defender tool
prevents from spyware & unwanted S/W installing on computer
4. Parental control
Windows Xp:
Windows XP has No Parental control Feature
Windows Vista:
Windows Vista has Parental control Feature
This option enables parents to restrict Children’s which sites, games .software to use & not
5. Security is enhanced
Windows Xp:
Some applications failed to work on Windows XP when users did not have administrator access because they assumed they would have full access to the C: drive and all parts of the registry.
Windows Vista:
A number of Windows Vista security enhancements will impact deployment. For example, configuring Windows Vista to support "low rights" users, where the logged-on user does not have administrator rights, is easier. S With Windows Vista, applications that attempt to write to restricted areas will have those writes transparently redirected to other locations in the user's profile.
6. No More HAL Complications
Windows Xp:
With Windows XP, technical restrictions prevented the creation of a single image that could be deployed to all computers. Different hardware abstraction layers (HALs) meant you had to maintain multiple images. (For more on this see the Knowledge Base article "HAL options after Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Setup") Most organizations needed two or three images per platform (x86 and x64) and some chose to have even more—though each image brings added costs and complexity.
Windows Vista:
In Windows Vista, those technical restrictions are gone; the operating system is able to detect which HAL is required and automatically install it.
7. Deployment Is Language-Neutral
Windows Xp:
Windows XP supported different languages in two ways. You could either deploy localized versions of Windows XP, requiring a different image for each language, or you could deploy an English Multilanguage User Interface (MUI) version with added language packs. There were advantages and disadvantages to each approach, but in most cases organizations that needed to support multiple languages took the MUI route, dealing with the limitations of running with an operating system that was effectively English at its core. Organizations that worked only with one language typically chose to use only the localized versions.
Windows Vista:
Now with Windows Vista, the entire operating system is language-neutral. One or more language packs are added to this language-neutral core to create the image that is deployed (although only some versions of Windows Vista support multiple languages).
8. Text-Mode Installation Is Gone
Windows Xp:
The image preparation process has also changed. With Windows XP, you would "Sysprep" a machine to prepare the reference operating system for deployment.
Windows Vista:
With Windows Vista, you'll still run Sysprep.exe (installed by default in C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep), which will "generalize" the machine for duplication.

A new method of propagation has given a computer worm a fresh lease on life. The Win32.Worm.Downadup, aka "Conficker" or "Kido," first hit the world last year by exploiting the MS08-067 vulnerability that let it spread in loosely secured networks. Microsoft issued a patch for the vulnerability, but a large number of PCs have remained unpatched. Now, security researchers believe the worm can spread via USB thumb drives. In addition, 8.9 million PCs have been infected, according to F-Secure.[More...]

CES is all over, bar the shouting and it's time for a round-up. Here's my take on the 10 best and most significant gadgets, gizmos and launches from Las Vegas. I have put them in no particular order - except that I have saved the best to last. And no, it's not the Palm Pre.
1 SONY'S POCKET LAPTOP
The early contender for gadget of the week (because I have a thing about laptops) was Sony's Vaio P Series, a mini-notebook (not a netbook apparently) which is about the size of a big envelope and not that much thicker. It weighs just 638g.
The device has an Intel Atom processor, 2GB of RAM and a 60GB hard drive. Other features include mobile broadband, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS technologies with pre-installed maps. The 8-inch display that has a light-emitting diode backlight for more vivid colors than a standard LCD screen. The display has a resolution of 1,600 by 768 pixels and is "ultrawide".
The system runs Windows Vista, but has an instant-on option that launches directly into Sony's Xross Media Bar interface, which provides access to music, video, photos, and the Web. The Vaio P Series Lifestyle PC is available from February in the obligatory range of fancy colours. The only real problem is the price - from £849 in the UK - which is a lot for such a small screen. But it is a thing of beauty. Details here.
2 YAHOO! GETS INTERACTIVE WITH YOUR TV
Yahoo led the show-wide charge into getting more internet content on your TV. The company unveiled an avalanche of deals with TV manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony to put its TV Widget platform into the living room. With a Widget-enabled set you can interact with content and services that complement your TV viewing (but you don't get the full browsing experience). Press one button on your remote to bring up the TV Widget Dock, select a TV Widget, and view content.
You can track your favorite sports team, watch financial stocks, share photos with friends and family, go shopping, play games, view movies or web videos while you watch your favorite show. eBay, YouTube and MySpace are among the offerings. A significant move for the ailing company. Details here.
3 SKYPE FOR MOBILES
Skype, free video calls over the internet, is the one technology that my move to San Francisco from London has turned into a true life-changer. The company is now doing the same for mobile phones.
The Web-based voice and text messaging service owned by eBay has developed a "lite" version that can be downloaded for free to more than 100 models of Java-enabled mobile phones or those using Google's open-source Android platform.
The T-Mobile G1 runs Android software while phones from LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson are Java-enabled. Skype "lite" is not yet available for the Apple iPhone. (ha!)
The "lite" version gives you the ability to make free Skype-to-Skype calls and low cost calls to landlines and mobiles (no video but still pretty fab). Details of the beta here.
4 THE BEST HD MINI VIDEO CAMERA
Ok, so the Flip Mino HD, strictly speaking, was launched months ago but it was one of the ten entries in the Last Gadget Standing competition at CES and I think it is just brilliant. The world's smallest HD-quality video recorder features 4GB of memory and up to 60 minutes of recording time and all-new built-in FlipShare software for easy saving, organizing and sharing of video. It is pocket perfection. Details here.
Sony entered the market at CES with a new line of HD cameras called Webbie HD, both models coming in under $200. The PM1 has a swivel lens with 4x digital zoom and captures high-definition video at 1080p and snaps 5-megapixel pictures. It has a USB connection allowing easy transfers to a computer and uploads to services such as YouTube. Personally I still prefer the Flip Mino and they were first. But here's a picture of the Sony Webbie, anyway.
5 SUPER-POWERFUL PC FOR GAMERS
One of the sexiest launches for gamers was HP Firebird, from the gaming supercomputer specialists VoodooPC. I'm no gamer but it was not difficult to see why everyone was getting so excited about this fantastic piece of PC engineering.
Currently only slated for the US, the top of the range model features a 2.83GHz Intel Core 2 Quad, 4GBs of RAM, two 2.5in 320GB hard drives, a slot loading Blu-ray drive, Bluetooth and Draft-N Wi-Fi, Creative Labs X-Fi sound and dual 512MB nVidia 9800S graphics cards. Which translates as everything a gamer might want. And because it is watercooled its runs in near silence. No word about when it is coming to the UK... Details here.
6 PALM PRE HAS IPHONE IN ITS SIGHTS
The Palm Pre is the new cellphone sensation. There has been a lot of attention paid to this new smartphone from the old smartphone pioneers. I think it has great potential but because I have not had a chance to test it myself yet, I am going to sit on the fence. But it was easily the most talked about launch at the show. It will, I am told, be coming to the UK, probably in the second half of this year. Networkworld has got all the details and compares its specs with the iPhone.
7 NIGHT VISION CAMCORDER
My favourite "toy" of the show was the Digital Blue NightVision video camera. Aimed at kids and teenagers this camcorder employs infrared technology to allow users to see and record video in pitch black conditions up to 20 feet away. It is marketed at kids and teens who want to have "stealthy adventures in the dark". Now that sounds a bit weird but I think it is still a great gimmick.
The recorded videos can be played back on the camera's LCD screen, on a PC, or uploaded to social networking sites like YouTube. It also features a built-in flashlight "for safety", and a daytime recording mode. It will be available in the US this summer for $79.99.
The company website does not mention the new product yet but here is the press release.
8 JIVE ROBOT
Cute robot alert. WowWee Robotics have been turning out award-winning androidy products for a while (Robosapiens) but I was particularly taken with the Joebot. He is your interactive friend with a sense of style and rhythm. (pictured here with his launch companion the Roborover)
Joebot responds to voice commands and can beatbox and dance - his movements are sharp and swift and he can get himself up if he falls over. He has various modes but my favourite was battle mode when he will blast objects with the LEDs in his hands. You can even duel against him using any infra-red remote control. Waddya mean, this is just silly? Here's SlipperyBrick.com's take.
9 SEXIEST BLU-RAY PLAYER YET
Samsung unveiled the thinnest Blu-ray player on the planet with the BD-P4600. It can be wall-mounted and features support for internet interactive BD Live and Bonus View. Add a USB dongle for Netflix instant movie streaming and Pandora Internet Radio. This is a very cool product indeed. Gizmodo has the details. The Samsung website is pants.
10 THE WINNER - NEVER MISS A WORD
First of all - a confession. No, two. This is not a brand new launch but as above, it was part of the Last Gadget Standing contest and I had not come across it before. So I can include it. And secondly, yes, I know I love it so much because I am a hack whose shorthand is not what it was.
But this gadget is a fantastic piece of innovation and my favourite from CES.
The Livescribe Pulse smartpen places a computer inside a writing stylus to deliver a pen and voice recorder that remembers everything it writes and syncs it all with your PC.
There is a tiny scanner in the tip of the pen that picks up invisible dots in the special paper to keep a timeline of where the pen comes into contact with the paper. The pen can have its voice recorder activated, so it records audio while the notes are taken and afterwards, simply by touching the pen to any point in the notes, you can play back what was being said at the time.
If this sounds amazing, it is and it works. A journalist colleague swears by the smartpen now. Livescribe sells notebooks of the special Dot Paper, and users can even print out their own Dot Paper using a 600 dpi or greater printer.
Here's a video to help explain (it's a bit cheesy but it is aimed at students).
The pen is designed (by some ex-Apple people) to make note-taking - for journos and for students - really easy. What's more, the pen uses handwriting recognition to solve maths questions and translate words. No, I am not making that bit up.
The notes can all be transferred onto your computer using the Livescribe Desktop. The system is Windows compatible and there is a public beta to download for Mac users. A starter pack of the pen, the software, some of the special notebooks and other bits of kits costs around £185 in the UK. The Livescribe website is here.
And that's it. I hope you read this far. I should add that I have not included Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system update because I doubt very much that it will be fully released by the time the next CES comes to an end. So what did I miss?
