| Executive Summary: Microsoft's Windows Vista has numerous features that make it worth upgrading to from Windows XP. Vista includes versatile image deployment, a faster desktop search, and a complete backup and restore tool. Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, a new service program architecture, and Address Space Layout Randomization are Vista features that improve overall security. |

consider making the switch.
