SearchWinIT.com has an article outlining the new must-have features for Windows Vista. The author, Bernie Klinder, notes that there isn’t a single killer feature, but rather Vista is ful of smaller features that overall add up to the “must-have” aspect of Vista. He says once you’ve used Vista, it is almost painful to go back to XP. Here is his list of items:

• Integrated Search
• Power Management
• Network Management
• Ad Hoc Wireless
• Presentation Mode (AWESOME)
• Previous Versions
• Mobility Center
• Document Previews
• Guided Help and Automated Diagnostics
• Aero

Not all of these features will appeal to everyone, but overall Vista looks very promising. I plan on getting a new laptop once the OEM version comes out… I’ll be sure to review it in detail then. In the meantime, read the rest of Kindler’s article for more details.
