Windows 2000 was aimed at the year 2000 and Windows Vista is aimed at a time when
there are no more 'people' living on the planet. A sheep free vista.
The 'lord' is my shepherd, etc.

Windows 2000 was the 350 pound Gorilla of its day, kicking sand into poor, puny little
Win9X's face at the beach. But it didn't crash at the slightest excuse. When XP
came along, the Gorilla was getting way overweight, and at 700 ponds, barely able
to get out of its own way, let alone kick at any sand!
Microsoft has pumped XP full of vitamins and altered its DNA so now it's purple,
dinosaur economy size, and sings silly songs to children.
There is a web site full of MS propaganda about Vista, you can find it easily enough.
Take a gander at what they say it can do, why don't you?

Vista is more Bloat then anything that will be a Benefit to Users. From the Beta
Version I tried, it had no whiz-bang got have Features. The whole Hard Drive seems
to be a Read only enviroment, so it will be harder for Malware to infect it. This
will Benifit the Clueless Web surfers I guess. I had it installed on a 2 ghz cpu
with 512 mbs Ram, and it ran a bit slow.

I suggest you run a comparison review search on iNods.com (http://www.inods.com)
and you will come across a good number of reviews on them both.

Without sounding to negative, Ms is not a software company, they are a masterful
marketing machine. Vista will be what all the others have been, Bigger (in bulk)
with a "new" look (very damanding on graphics and memory) but not a vaste improvement
over thier last (patched) Os. It will be pushed to market - not when it is ready,
but when Ms needs to have a new product out. The underlying devolopers innovations
(see Ms website) are there to create a need and market for new software - because
they can't make money off of software that you already own, they need to sell you
"new" software. One possitive note: The developer innovations will encourage 64
bit development. (to the joy of AMD and INTEL).

Actually (To clarify, I use Linux and BSD in my main PC), Vista have some good things
over 2k/XP.
1) Better security (finally a version of windoze that actually gets the users to
use a normal, limited account for daily work and only go root when needed, something
*NIX users have been doing ever since there's *NIX).
2) Ability to preload apps in RAM to have them there already when you open them (again
it's been in *NIX all the time).
3) Desktop compositing (Aero glass isn't just a new theme. Behind it there's a whole
structure meant to offload the graphical rendering to the video card's memory and
processor, leaving the main RAM and processor available to other tasks, a thing recently
available in both Linux and windoze).
Now. I know the all of this have been in *NIX before. But the OP was asking about
feature comparison between 2k and Vista.
