Vista does look good, it’s an improvement over windows xp which has been looking quite old. However, I have a few issues with it:

• Too many windows derivatives – home, home premium edition, ultimate, business etc
• Rather expensive – It’s suggested most will buy it with a pc, but what if I buy an apple mac instead?
• Difference from XP – Take away Aero and I feel (though am probably mistaken) it’s very similar to windows xp
• The system requirements are horrific – yes you can run it on a Pentium 800 – but would you?

For businesses, many have just completed or completing their windows xp upgrade projects, they’ll want some time to settle and recover from it, so Vista will be a while.  Oh IT will play with it, but it will be at least a year or so before we see the big banks start look at it, unless they’re after a set feature.
