    Comparing Xp V/S Vista
     Compare installation phase

     In Windows XP, the system prompts for user information, CD-


    Key, and other information etc. after the process of copying
    files is done.

     In Windows Vista, it will ask for information such as computer


    name, CD-Key before the copying process.

     Windows installation Process

     Installer can install Win XP with a formatted partition of FAT32


    file system!

     One cannot install Windows Vista in drives formatted using


    FAT32 file systems! Installer needs the HDD formatted as
    NTFS.
    The Shocking news
    Microsoft had softly announced the shocking news, in which
    it announced that, it is going to discontinue the sales of Windows
    XP at the end of January 2008. This means there will be no license
    issued for major hardware corporates such as Dell, HP, HCL, and
    Toshiba, etc. to market the sales of Windows XP. These hardware
    corporates have now, the only choice to install Windows Vista in
    their customer’s PC.
    Thank You
