vista premium [Posted on 2008-03-24]
It's funny i've heard so many complaints about this New Windows Vista,
But i Like it and i thought i would't. i bought this to upgrade my desktop and found out it wouldn't upgrade with this version,( even though the Microsoft advisor said it would), so i used it on my New Laptop that had Basic and it's even better. I would reccomend this to anyone that is expereinced with Windows and it's insides.
you need to know What updates to install and do them manually, i turned off the automatic updates after hearing about issues with "phoning home"
and validation issues.
But over all after the tweaks, it's pretty cool.
Amazon.Com ROcks. Thanks
It will make you wish you kept your old computer [Posted on 2008-04-04]
Words cannot express how much I despise this operating system.
Everything has been changed. You will spend hours trying to do something simple.
Norton Anti-virus came loaded. I tried the 2 month trial and ended up getting multiple worms, viruses, downloaders, etc. My computer is continually hijacked in Explorer. In Firefox, it is finally fixed.
It seems Microsoft cared to sell the very best.
In what other industry are you FORCED to buy their product?
They are criminals as far as I'm concerned.
At this moment, I've lost my taskbar at the bottom of my screen. I have no idea where it went or why. I am not even able to pull up control panel to check things.
How can Microsoft make Billions in profits yet sell such shoddy products?
A fine upgrade, not great [Posted on 2008-04-15]
I'm blown away by the number of "less than accurate" statement made by people here. I'm especially blown away by the Mac Users who come here to say bad things about a product that they don't even use. When OS X came out there were plenty of problems with compatibility because OS X was a completely different system from System 9 for the Mac. Yet most people have decided it was a good move for Apple.
Vista is like that but it maintained much better backwards compatibility than OS X did. The problem is that Microsoft has 15 times as many users, so when a small percentage have problems, it still looks like a lot of people. Simply because a LOT of people use Windows.
Having used Vista Home Premium for a year now I can say that the product works very well. I dual booted with XP for a month to make sure I was happy with Vista before switching permanently. In that time I found that most of the claims that Vista was buggy and performed badly were false.
The two biggest reasons that people have had problems with Vista are:
1) Not enough RAM, Vista needs a minimum of 1GB of RAM and should have at least 2GB.
2) NVidia graphics drivers. The early drivers from NVidia were horrible and caused numerous problems for people, especially gamers.
I personally never put together a system these days with less than 2GB of RAM, and I am an ATI graphics card user, so neither of these problems plagued me. If you knew these things going into Vista, you would be a lot happier.
Today it seems that MS and NVidia have straightened out most of the problems with the Drivers. So unless you are buying a system without sufficient RAM, Vista is a fine upgrade. Not great, but great upgrades are very rare in the modern software world.
maybe it's me [Posted on 2008-04-26]
I do not know if it is me or not however my Intel Pentium 4 w/ HT according to HP is supposed to not only be set up for Vista, but is also supposed to run the 64 bit version. Maybe I did not load the program properly.
