Difference between xp and vista
If you have used Windows XP, and now using Windows Vista, do you notice any difference between both operating system on the sequence that the recently opened programs and frequently used programs are arranged on Start Menu? If you don’t, take a close look again, as there is obvious change and improvement been done to the usability of Start Menu.In Windows XP, the recently used programs is arranged in sequence according to respective usage frequency in ascending order. The usage count for each application program is calculated from the moment new system is installed or from the last time recent programs history is reset and deleted, and this count, which is the program opens or uses frequency determine the program’s location on the Start Menu recently opened programs list. A newly installed software must accumulate enough usage counter or increase its frequency to hit the lower limit of the existing recent programs list in order to appear on the Start Menu, eliminating one existing program from the list. The program can then climb up the ‘listing’ ladder by higher usage frequency and times. The advantage of the XP style of arranging Recent Programs is that the lis t is pretty stable without sudden change, but it can’t reflect immediately the change of ‘hit’ programs been used.
Windows Vista further enhances the sorting algorithm. Generally, the Start Menu of Vista will contain by default 9 recently opened programs. Among the 9 items, the position of the first 3 or 4 programs (excluding the top pinned applications such as Internet Explorer and Windows Mail or Microsoft Outlook) is more stable, and probably the sequence arrangement of those initial items is based on usage count and frequency, just like in XP. However, it’s not the case for the subsequent or bottm 4 or 5 programs in the list. The change on the last few recent programs is fast. A new installed program can get into the list within just one or two execution, in the expense of one existing program also listed near the bottom. The new mechanism greatly benefit users who use broad base of programs as it able to quickly reflect the switching attention or priority on various programs at different time, while still able to list most frequently used programs always visible on top.
The major Differences between Windows Xp & Vista are :Windows Vista & Windows XP1. Bitlocker Option available Windows XP has . No Bitlocker option- Bitlocker drive encryption,Bitlocker on volumePrevents hard drive from hackers
This is true, BitLocker ™ is a new feature exclusive to the Microsoft OS's after Server 2003, meaning Windows Vista, Windows Home Server and Windows Server 2008 include Bitlocker.

2. Windows Vista has Windows Defender tool Windows XP has No Windows Defender tool available- prevents from spyware & unwantedS/W installing on computer
This is incorrect.Windows Defender was origional designed, tested and created for Windows XP, and was named Windows Antispyware until the second beta, when it was renamed Windows Defender.It can be found HERE, for both Windows XP and Windows XP 64-bit, as well as Server 2003 (if you need it?)All versions of Windows Vista ship with Windows Defender

3. Windows Vista has Parental control Feature Windows XP has No Parental control Feature- This option enables parents to restrictChildren’s which sites, games .softwareto use & not
This is true.Some additional new features of Windows Vista are mainly what people have been griping about for years. Updated looks, better support for the disabled (larger icon options, system wide font size change, etc.), SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY (Steve Balmer 'Developers' anyone?), and more. But its not just for the average person, Windows Vista also has an updated Directx which will allow games to become much smaller filesize, yet have much better quality to them. And thats a very very small portion of the new features I've metioned.What specifically are you planning to use Vista for? Home, work, etc?
