Welcome to The Windows Blog 


Vote for Your Favorite Windows Vista Website!

Rock the vote!

No, I'm not talking about race for President of the United States. I'm talking about the slightly less controversial contest currently in swing over at The WinVistaClub for choosing the BEST Windows Vista Website (besides this one!). The contest is designed to highlight community websites that offer extensive and interesting Windows Vista content.

Folks were able to submit what website they thought was the best Windows Vista Website. Then a panel of judges consisting of Steve Sinchak MVP of TweakVista.com , John Barnett MVP of VistaSupport.mvps.org, Steven Bink of Bink.nu, Kerry Brown MVP of VistaHelp.ca, Aryeh Goretsky MVP of Eset.com, James Stables of WindowsVistaMagazine.com, Emil Protalinski of Arstechnica.com, Barney Tormey of Neowin.net, and Anand Khanse of The WinVistaClub voted on the Top 10 Finalists for the Best Windows Vista Website. Now *you* get to choose THE Best Windows Vista out of the Top 10 Finalists. Here they are (in no particular order):

The criteria to win according to the Anand Khanse (aka happyandyk) is simple: Does the website have substantial original quality content of interest & use to a Windows Vista user?

Click here to Vote Now!

Voting is now live until 5:30 AM PST on September 11th. The Top 5 sites will go onto the next round and the winner and 2 runner ups will be announced around September 15th. 

I've read through each of these sites and can tell you that they definitely meet the bar, but I'm interested to know...which one is your favorite?  Or do you have a Windows Vista website that isn't listed that you think should be? Leave a comment and let me know! And don't forget to vote!

    "tweaking with vishal" is looking promising to me. I checked other sites as well but my vote goes to tweaking with vishal. He has lots of good information about vista and other software.

    Don't forget you have this web site also:

    http://www.vistax64.com/

    Huge forum, and huge number of Vista related tutorials.

    To Agnus: when it comes to Windows Vista content, tweaking with Vishal is not that great.\

    There are better sites than this one like: Windows Vista for Beginners, MAXIMUMpcguides or windows-vista-update.com.

    However, the best of all the Vista sites - howtogeek.com, is not in this competition.

    It is a pitty!

    ^^ Yeah. I understand what are you talking about but just check his Vista section:

    http://www.askvg.com/category/windows-vista/

    he has numerous vista troubleshooting topics and tweaks. Also I love his vista and xp themes.

    ps: I agree howtogeek truly deserves to be in the list.

    @Angus & carusen

    Thanks for the vote, I appreciate it even if I was surprisingly left out. =)

    Ciprian from Vista for Beginners is a friend of mine... so I voted for him.

    The news about the Contest was carried on several websites. And entries were invited & open for almost a fortnight. No doubt the sites mentioned here are excellant, but only those who chose to participate could be considered. :)
