Microsoft Windows Vista

Microsoft has released Vista, its latest version of Windows. Because the Vista operating system may not be compatible with some hardware and software applications, Information Technology advises that you consult your hardware/software vendor prior to purchase to ensure that there are no compatibility issues.

 

Due to several incompatibilities between the new Microsoft Vista operating system and various hardware, services, and applications, Information Technology cannot fully support Vista until these issues are addressed by the software and hardware vendors. 

 

If you are planning to upgrade your current computer to Windows Vista, please note the above mentioned incompatibilities still apply and that testing has revealed a significant performance loss due to hardware limitations on older computers. Most users will need to purchase new computers in order to run Windows Vista efficiently. Microsoft provides an upgrade advisor tool on its web site that can determine if your computer is capable of running Vista.
