Windows Vista finally released...

It was 2002 when Bill Gates started talking about his vision for Windows Vista briefly, and the Widows File System WinFS that organizes the whole file system as database related files. Ofcourse it was 4 years later they realized they hava to give that major feature up, or else they will keep pushing the release date for ever.

Nevertheless, now that Vista is released for business mainly, geeks have already started playing, hacking, and comparing. For interested readers, I suggest you go by this comparison between Windows XP and Vista. It briefly touches on different areas of performance and security.

Now before moving on, you should be ware if you are planning to find a cracked Windows Vista version, as hackers have already started distributing a download that is supposed to be an activation for Windows Vista, being called "Windows Vista All Versions Activation 21.11.06". The download however is actually a trojan carrier, Trojan-PSW.Win32.LdPinch.aze, that will install itself in the client PC. What makes the case worse is Microsoft's official statement that Windows Vista is designed to allow third-party software to be easily included into the Vista installation DVD, and thus have warned that pirated copies could easily come with malware preloaded inside. apcmag has more on this.
