Vista Advantages

One of the major factors in creating Vista was to increase the level of security for Internet using, file sharing and downloads. Although no computer security sytem is full proof, the Vista operating system has received great ratings so far.

It allows for users to set up a password or keyword code before anything new can be installed on the computer, thus keeping down the levels of spyware, adware and spam that can be âsecretlyâ installed on your computer.

Another advantage to Vista is the increase in graphics interface programs available. Of course the level and number of programs will be different depending on which type of Vista program you purchase, as some graphics programs are meant for home users while others are meant for business users.

The Vista operating system also allows for easier file sharing and computer to computer technology, with added programs making it easier to communication between computers, but with plenty of security to keep this sharing from increasing the level of exposure to viruses.

Vista Disadvantages

Of course there are always disadvantages to a new operating system. The biggest disadvantage to the new Vista operating system is the incompatability with older operating systems and accessories. Many computer experts claim that older printers, software, digital cameras and video game equipment cannot function properly with Vista.

Another major downfall that many have noted are the more restrictive licensing terms to install the Vista system as well as Digital Rights management technology. This may make it nearly impossible to share a copy of the Windows upgrade, meaning you will most definitely have to purchase it on your own. It also means that it is almost impossible to copy a piece of graphics or digital media that is copyrighted.

I found the following information on some web-sites, it describes my thoughts about Vista as well. I have Vista installed on 3 computers - but I have Windows XP installed on the same machines also. I mostly use Windows Vista unless I am composing music.

The only downside I see of using Vista is the number of applications that support it.

Microsoft will soon stop supporting Windows XP, if it hasn't already, which means that all of the effort of creating fixes will go to Windows Vista.

Answer
if you meant to design 3D guitar on computer, you could simple collect measurements and re draw image in 3D editor like Sketchup

could be use to take photos and place visually into rendered object of guitar body

if you meant to actually make model as life size copy,
that would require laser scanner and printer
