Microsoft has some serious thinking to do about its latest operating system - Vista. I'm sure we were all very excited when the eagerly awaited, glossy Vista was released early this year.

There is no doubt that Microsoft did an excellent job with the graphics and animations for Vista. However, is that all there is to Vista? A pretty image on your screen? It certainly does not do much if it is slow and hangs every few minutes. It would seem like Microsoft paid full concentration on visuals to make Vista trendy looking with its cool sidebar, and the animated switching between windows. However, they should have paid equal amount of attention to performance and efficiency.

With 30% of businesses (according to InformationWeek) having no plans to switch to Vista in the near future, will Microsoft re-engineer Vista? We hope so and soon too.
