Computer experts 'impressed' with Windows Vista

Experts from website theinquirer.net have said they are "impressed" by Windows Vista after a number of changes were implemented.

The software was trialled by the technophiles who said it was "polished, speedy" and "good on the eye".

According to the review, the improved Vista has come a long way since it first went into production and is now speedier and more responsive, sliding "seamlessly" from one application to another.

The software starts up in under 30 seconds - which is an improvement upon earlier test models, the reviewer states.

Some issues, however, are described as irritating, such as user interface inconsistencies and the removal of "useful" navigational icons.

At times, the software seems to be an updated version of Windows XP, the website suggests, but the reviewer states that the next version of DirectX will be released as Vista-only, giving many people a potential reason to upgrade their software.

Microsoft announced earlier this month that Vista had gone gold and was being released to manufacturers.
