A waste of money 4/14/2008 Impossible to install in my computer although the system is more that ready to handle this awful product from Microsoft. After installed, the computer kept crashing over and over, every time I upgraded a driver or install an application. It was so frustrating that I decided to go back to Windows XP. No problems with the computer with Windows XP Professional. This was a waste of money on an OS that looks to be incomplete. This Upgrade was a nightmare. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Terrible Product ! ! - See the Non-Upgrade Version For Real Reviews 4/13/2008 I am an advanced/expert Windows user, computing since the days of DOS. It is simply a fact that this Vista OS is absolutely terrible. Look into actual reviews, not those posted by Microsoft employees. You will regret purchasing Vista I assure you. Read the reviews under the full product, not the upgrade which has very, very few reviews posted. If you have not yet bought a new computer, I suggest you buy a MAC. I, unfortunately, recently bought another IBM computer, and esp. with the Vista OS (which I am replacing with XP) am regreting it daily. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Wait for SP2 or 3 or 4, or Upgrade Now, that is the Question 4/13/2008 In the Mac world updates to the operating system sometimes seem to come fast and furious, but unless it's a major upgrade, like from Tiger to Leopard (10.4 to 10.5) they are always free. In the windows world you pay for them. For example XP to Vista is similar to the Tiger - Leopard example and you expect to pay. Now tell me the difference between upgrading from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 in the Mac world, a free upgrade and Vista to Vista with SP1. Is not the whole raison d'etre of SP1 to fix the mistakes of Vista, as are those free upgrades in the Mac world. What a great cash cow Microsoft has going for it. Deliver a flawed operating system, charge a lot of money for it, then charge a gang of money to fix some, but not all of the flaws. That said, the SP1 upgrade does seem a bit faster and they say it's more secure and I guess I'll believe them. Would I upgrade to SP1 from Vista if I were you. It depends. I'm not a power user, so I didn't see all that much difference, so if you're like me and everything is ticking along fine, then I suppose I'd leave well enough alone. But if you're someone who is concerned about all those hundreds of little problems they say plague Vista, then you might want to upgrade. Do I sleep better knowing those problems aren't lurking in my computer waiting to strike when I least expect it. Not really, because if I was that kind of person, then I'd probably lie awake nights, hoping, waiting, praying for SP2. Come on Microsoft, these upgrades should be free. I know, I know, I shouldn't be complaining, because I got a free review copy of SP1 and because I haven't really had a bad Vista experience, so I guess I'll shut up now and just say, in my opinion if you're still running XP, then I'd upgrade, but if you're running Vista, I think I'd wait till SP2, or 3 or 4. Still, upset as I am about Microsoft's business practice of charging for these upgrades, mine was flawless, everything still works (I did a clean install, after backing up) and the performance does seem better, so five stars from me for the upgrade.

I've You Haven't Upgraded Yet, Perhaps Now's the Time 4/13/2008 You have to admit that Vista didn't get off to a banging good start. Many people thought it was bloated, slow, crashed all the time and the endless stories about those popups that kept questioning you would keep all but the reckless thinking twice before they upgraded from XP. In fact a year after its release it seems only a little over ten percent of the XP users out there have decided to upgrade. I've been using Vista since it came out and have been very happy with it. Yes you need more RAM than you did a couple years ago, I've got 2 megs on my laptop, which is plenty for Vista Home Premium. And I've got a whopping 4 megs on my desktop, which is running Vista Ultimate and that's way, way more than needed. My computers both seem happy enough and I know they're not fooling me, because when they get unhappy they crash and that's something they haven't done in a long time (three months for my laptop and I think six or more for my desktop). Is Vista bloated? Yes, sure, that's what happens when an operating systems (despite it's many flavors) tries to be all things to all people. Still, if you don't need the features, don't use them. It's not like todays computers are hurting for hard drive space. With 200 gigs in my laptop and 750 in my desktop, those features I don't use sitting in the background don't bother me at all. And those annoying UAC (User Account Control) popups and they are annoying, you don't have to live with those. If you've been using computers for anytime at all and have more than a clue about what you're doing, why don't you just turn them off. I did. Just type "system configuration" into Vista's Start Menu's instant search feature. When the System Configuration Utility window opens, click the tools tab, scroll down, click on "disable user control," click "launch", click "okay", then reboot and voila, those annoying popups are history. Now about the speed, yes, Vista "was" and that's the operative word here as far as I'm concerned, it was a bit slower than XP on my machines, but now thats I've installed the SP1 upgrades on my machines, they both seem zippier. So if you're still using XP and have been thinking about upgrading, now's the time. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Get enough RAM 4/10/2008 Even if you get a new PC with Vista, make sure you get enough RAM. Sellers do put Vista on 1GB RAM machines but they shouldn't. Read reviews and recommendations regarding sufficient memory, or you'll regret getting Vista. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
