Microsoft Windows Vista in Software
Verdict
It's by no means perfect, but the improved security, search and look-and-feel make Vista an obvious upgrade for anyone whose hardware will support it. But only if you can afford the high price.

Too highly rated in retrospect?
As Vista has been widely panned throughout the IT industry, I wonder if Messers Fearon and Burridge would still award it 5 out of 6 stars today.
