He also said the improved security in Vista, which should help reduce the threat of phishing and malware, was a good enough reason by itself for users to upgrade from Windows XP.

Vista also has many new features including a stylish new interface named 'Aero', improved photo management and search facilities, parental controls, sidebar 'gadgets' and media capabilities.

Microsoft predicts that within 12 months, more than 100 million computers will be running Vista.
