Vista Found to be Worthy But Largely Unexciting
The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg declared that Vista is a worthy but largely unexciting product on Friday. This was the overall finding after his months of testing Vista. However, he declared it the best version of Windows ever.
The review noted that Vista is much prettier than previous versions of Windows, but also noted that "Nearly all of the major, visible new features in Vista are already available in Apple's operating system, called Mac OS X..."
Several key elements of Vista were examined: Features and differentiation from Windows XP, hardware requirements, system responsiveness, the various versions available, security, the user interface, searching, and built-in programs.
