 The best Windows yet October 30, 2008
C. Page (Manchester, UK)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for nearly two years. Initially I used it on a "Windows Vista Capable" machine, and with all the UI effects turned on it ran like a dog. I remember the same thing in 2001 when I ran Windows XP on a 233 MHz machine with 64 MB RAM (the minimum spec for XP). I have since used Vista on my other two newer machines, each of which exceed the recommended spec, and I have been rewarded with new stability and security, along with an enhanced multimedia experience. Mac OS 10.5 has nothing on Vista (I use both at work), just don't try to run it on low-end hardware and expect miracles. br / br /Media Center is a brilliant pack-in, get a remote and plug the PC into your TV and away you go. For gamers I would recommend the Wireless gaming receiver which lets you use Xbox 360 pads in games (including the games build into windows). Multimedia integration with the Xbox 360 is improved also through Windows Media Player 11, allowing you to access music stored on your PC to replace the in-game soundtrack of any 360 game, and general good support of video codecs (Including high-definition video files). br / br /Don't listen to the Vista hearsay, in my experience it comes mostly from people whose entire experience of using Vista is limited to the demo models at PC World.
Windows Vista Home Basic OEM SP1 September 27, 2008
Carlos (UK)
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
In addition to the horror stories I've heard and read about Vista, I'd also read that the Home Basic edition is basically like XP and therefore not worth getting. Though Vista may have been dis-functional in 2007, the 2008 edition of Home Basic with Service Pack 1 is anything but XP! Installation was painless and despite my motherboard manufacturer not offering Vista compatible drivers, Windows Update made easy work of finding current VGA, Network Audio drivers to run my Motherboard under XP. I've had one program that will not function correctly but it's a specialist piece of Broadcast Software for which a Vista version is available so all in all, no major problems, catastrophe's etc etc. I think the Vista horror stories mainly relate to early releases and general compatibility for programs doesn't appear to be an issue. Ultimately I ask myself if I would go back to XP? The answer: no way, this is the way forward!
Vista Ultimate x64 January 11, 2008

Recently used this, actually got Home Premium x64 but decided to try Ultimate. I have found that most drivers or devices will work better if you disable UAC. I have found UAC (User Account Control - if you don't know - is the thing that pops up asking you for confirmation every five seconds - people complain but don't realise you can switch it off in Control Panel, which makes a vista experience a more pleasurable one. Also used with 4GB of RAM is a pretty amazing OS. br / br /At the end of the day you can only make a judgement if you use this yourself, but, bear in mind most driver issues now have been sorted, only devices that are very old will have problems and to be perfectly honest, if your machine is very old then stick with XP, cos chances are, you don't have a hope of running this, if you do, i recommend :D
