With all the news about Windows Vista (the next generation operating system), we're sure you're wondering whether or not your computer meets the somewhat demanding requirements of Windows Vista. Microsoft just released a beta version of the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor which runs a scan on your system to see if you have the right stuff to run the new OS. Check it out at the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor Website and download it here.
"The Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor is a small beta application that you can run on your current Windows XP-based computer to find out if it's ready for an upgrade to Windows Vista. When you run the Upgrade Advisor, it will scan your computer and generate an easy-to-understand report of any known system and device compatibility issues, along with recommendations on how you can get your PC ready for Windows Vista. Microsoft plans to add functionality to Upgrade Advisor, such as checking how your software applications will run with Windows Vista."
