M$ I want my money back or a different OS! [Posted on 2008-04-10]
I cant really describe how disgusted I am with this OS I have involuntary reboots in the middle of working on tasks and other difficult to describe problems. Its slow as molasses and behaves like it is infected with a Virus.
An upgrade is an improvment, this is far from it!
Cost me $700 [Posted on 2008-07-07]
Microsoft Vista Business came bundled with a Lenovo laptop. Various glitches prompted numerous calls to my Microsoft Certified IT expert. Most recently, the system would just lose contact with the Internet for unknown reasons, then just as mysteriously regain contact several days later. Sometimes a "route print" at the administrator command prompt would show two "0.0.0.0" route entries, and deletion of these would sometimes (but not always) remedy the problem. Anyway, my IT expert finally just took Vista off and installed XP. I'm guessing my final outlay on this headache will total $700, not to mention my time.
Absolutely avoid the Vista operating system. I loaded Linux Ubuntu on a spare machine while the laptop was in the shop, and got instant browser, email, and Microsoft compatible word processing and spreadsheet. No flash, just functionality.
Cost me thousands in lost time [Posted on 2008-08-06]
We have tried to make Vista work for a year on a $2,000 laptop. We spent days getting our Vista compliant design software to work. Everytime we had to load new software we lost too much time. Our new laptop also ran slower than the old one with XP. The last straw was when a Microsft program would not work and the fix on Microsoft's website was a rewrite to the registry. Finally we reformatted the hard drive and installed XP. Everything works better and faster.

I received the order promptly. Unfortunatly I could not upgrade from home premium to business. I had to return it and they provided a bar code mailing label to use. I'm sorry I haD to return it, but they made the transaction as easy as possible for me to return it. Thank you Amazon. CForce Bradenton, Fl
Awful. Avoid it if you can! [Posted on 2008-10-23]
I purposely purchased Vista Business because I thought that Microsoft would ensure that their more expensive product would be more stable and productive that the other versions of Vista. I was wrong. Vista freezes more than any version of Windows I have used previously. I have had a new version of the blue screen of death. It does not recognize either my new printer or one of my displays even after attempting multiple updates of both of these drivers (both automatic updates, and manually).
To be blunt, Microsoft has taken a signficant step back with this product and seems to have wasted time on making a product that is more Apple-like than making a product that works.
