The difference between Vista system and XP system

Since Microsoft officially provided VISTA and XP system downloads, in general, VISTA is an upgrade for XP system downloads. At the same time, the configuration requirements for the computer are also higher. The difference between the two system downloads is mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. Security performance XP: In the initial Windows XP download and SP1, the built-in firewall downloaded by Windows XP system provided good anti-hacking protection. Windows XP download SP2 greatly improves the protection of the firewall, and can prevent malicious programs from accessing the network, but it is still relatively simple for commercial applications, so many users who value security will still use the features provided by third parties. The firewall or Internet security component to replace it. All Windows XP system download versions can be downloaded automatically by setting XP to download Windows updates. Vista: Vista has a firewall that is similar to Windows XP SP2 but has been greatly improved. Internet Explorer 7 has the "anti-phishing" feature, but it is currently known to slow down the speed of browsing the web, mainly due to the server being downloaded via the Microsoft system, but IE7 and its competitor Firefox2. 0 can only clean up some phishing sites, so there is still room for improvement in this regard. Windows has a new "random" layer that can increase the difficulty of changing the memory configuration in the Vista system, which has increased the difficulty of attacking malicious code. A new technology that Vista has, namely Kernel Patch Protection (KPP) technology, although KPP does not prevent all viruses, rootkits or other malware from attacking the system, but from a security perspective, KPP is in many protective barriers. It adds a layer of protection, which is really beneficial for Intel and AMD's new x64 processors. 2. Home Entertainment XP: Windows XP can play MP3 and video files, CDs, DVDs, streaming media files and other formats. Media Center Edition is an updated version of the Windows XP system download, which pays more attention to the viewing and production of video, music and images. Vista: The capabilities of Media Center have been fully embedded in Windows Vista, and have been greatly enhanced. Vista can play most audio and video files through its own Windows Media Player, and can also download many free resources from the Internet. 3. Graphical User Interface XP: The user interface downloaded by Windows XP has been greatly improved compared to Windows 2000, but its start button seems too big today. Vista: Very beautiful 3D icon, transparent "glass" window and “Flip 3D” window opening effect. The new graphics system is called "Aero", but it requires a lot of system resources. The desktop search engine is built into Vista and fully integrated with the system, which is similar to Google's desktop search. Although Windows XP downloads have similar functions, most people think that XP's search ability is relatively low. At the same time, Vista has a new "sidebar" that can display images, time, news and other information by downloading applets or widgets. There are already a number of sidebar components available, and it is estimated that more sidebar components will appear after January 30, 2007. 4. Network aspect XP: Unless you know what you want to do and can solve it yourself, the wired connection/wireless connection provided by Microsoft“Setup Wizard rarely achieves fast and accurate work, which is greatly increased. The difficulty of the user's network connection. Vista: A lot of setup improvements have made Vista the easiest operating system to connect to the XP system, and Vista can easily set up wired/wireless network connections.
