Good, Not great [Posted on 2008-03-30] Upgraded from XP to Vista. Seems to be a smoother operating system. Fewer steps for setups and to keep the computer system working. Nicer screen displays. Watch out for Windows security that can be intrusive into other software like setting up your wireless router and adapter. Turned it off to use my own antivirus and firewall software. Currently Vista does not support wireless hubs for USB printers while XP does, I am told. Go figure. New format in drop down screens looking at directories and files takes some getting used to but then so did the dos prompt. Have Vista on two computers and like the operating system in general.
Not as bad as people think. [Posted on 2008-04-27] Vista has improved alot with SP1 and pretty much all of its bugs have been fixed. Its a good time to buy
Vista vista vista. [Posted on 2008-05-27] Why, microsoft??
A couple years ago, microsoft came out with a good product with the XP system. It was a relatively good program, with only the occasional patch. Very user friendly, and didn't make people want to shoot themeselves.
Along came Vista.
As it is aptly said in a different review, the complete de-evolution of computing. The boys at microsoft really screwed this one up, trying to copy the more popular mac software.
Whoops
They completely failed at it!! Vista is the absolute worst form of computing. Complete suckiness. It was way overcomplicated and made very user-unfriendly
I wonder how many Vista-related suicides there have been?
Windows Vista [Posted on 2008-06-11] Ok, so first of all, i have no idea why people are so pissed at this software, u may call me lucky, but windows vista runs perfect on my computer with just about no faults, now or ever (and my computer (custom) is kind of out dated: AMD Athlon 64 3200, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, 2Gb of memory...), plus i literally have the very first version of home premium, i pre ordered it.
I REALLY like the interface, and all games play a lot (a lot!) better than on Xp (i do hard core gaming between crysis (also wrote a review), counter strike, Day of Defeat, CS:s, and Flight simulator x). The only thing thats actually really slow on vista is MS office, but thats also slow on Xp, and on my MacBook. As for the security pop up screen, the first week or so its annoying but then u dont even notice, or even care about it. Windows also does all the tasks that u had to do manually be fore automatically, for example drivers it downloads automatically, and it has a very very easy wireless set up (first it downloads the drive (automatically!), and then u just click on what wireless network to join.
Also my friend has a $500 laptop and WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE runs on it amazingly fast, and he too likes it (he upgraded from Xp) more than the update
now after using windows vista, Xp seems really outdated, hard to use, and just plain bad (horrible interface!).
i love this product and strongly advise you to buy it (except for ppl w/ really bad and really outdated computers)
Btw, im currently building a new computer (just about done!!! ive ordered half from Amazon, half from newegg) and when ive used Vista long enough one the new computer, i will update my review

Good and stable but not fully compatible [Posted on 2008-07-14] I got this with my dell. I love it. I have read alot of reviews about how it is a bloated programme and how so many others are better but i honestly love this OS. I need not go into how nice the interface looks for i am sure alot of persons have done that for me. With Service Pack 1 and my regular updates i have not noticed any problems stability-wise. I have even read reviews that show that with SP1 its performance is now comparable to the hugely successfull predecessor XP with SP2.
I was very disappointed with the fact that i could not use certain programmes with it...noteably ArcView 3.x and ArcGIS 9.0 . All other compatable issues i had were eventually solved by driver updates from the device or software manufacturers.
I love it.
