Story: Gartner: Ignore Vista until 2008
Posted by: Joe S. (Saturday 12 November 2005, 2:26 AM)
Vista isn't simply a super-patched version of XP, It's been practically written from scratch. While initial versions of Vista were based on XP, the developers realized that this constant system of patching just wouldn't work with what they wanted to do, and decided to base it instead off of Windows Server 2003, which had been written from the ground up for stability and security. This is one of the major reasons I'm looking forward to Vista.
