What is one of the main differences between Windows Vista and earlier versions of the Windows operating system?
Windows Vista has a number of significant differences from earlier Windows operating systems but probably the most significant is the graphical appearance. It's theme can be described as glassy with transparent glossy frames around windows which you can tint different colors in the Control Panel. It also comes with some new applications such as Windows DVD maker as well as a number of new games and updated applications that were in previous versions of Windows. Due to the improved appearance, it also runs slower than past versions of Windows and has some compatibility issues with certain software and device drivers. However, if you are buying a new computer and don't have alot of old software and devices you want to use with it, you probably won't have a significant problem with either of these issues.

How many characters are valid while saving a file?
This will differ depending on your operating system and the software used, so I will stick to recent versions of Windows. Microsoft Windows does not put a precise limit on the file name so much as the pathname. Windows XP can have a path name up to 256 characters long, and Windows Vista (and, I believe, Windows 7) can have to up 260. But be careful when moving files around, because if you move it or cut/paste to a pathname that is longer than the previous one, it could cause the pathname to exceed the maximum. Additionally, Excel will have a problem with pathnames longer than 217 characters and will generate an error message; Word has problems with pathnames longer than 247 characters, but PowerPoint is fine up to 259 characters. Unlike some earlier versions of Windows, all of the characters (up to the stated limits) in the filename of current Windows versions are "valid", in the sense that if you change any of them it will result in a name that is considered distinct from others to the Windows operating system.

If you already have Windows 8, you should upgrade to 8.1 as it offers the latest features and is viewed as more user friendly than previously. If you do not already have Windows 8, look at the changes from previous versions of Windows to Windows 8 and decide if its right for you; many people still prefer Windows 7.
