 Maybe the most underrated OS from Microsoft ever... April 3, 2008

For those who are still undecided, please download and run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor, and compare the different editions before purchasing Vista to determine which features you want and need. Don't just trust the manufacturers bundling any odd Vista version with their hardware. br / br /It's also very helpful to look for Vista versions of drivers for peripherals, so as not to get any nasty surprises. I knew I'd have to make a choice between Vista and my all-in-one, thanks to the Upgrade Advisor. That said, Vista comes with many many more drivers than XP did, making things a lot easier. br / br /OK, hardware requirements for the OS itself are high but PC manufacturers have to make some money, too. If it's not them it's some well-known imaging applications, new versions of which demanded more and more resources long before Vista was even released and made me upgrade the machine I had then. br / br /The only real problem I experienced with Vista so far was to move the user directories. Microsoft's fix didn't fix the problem, but I found a solution (cut and paste) after 3 re-installations within 1 week, and on the way there I was given a chance to familiarize myself with many of Vista's new admin features. And useful they are. br / br /The complete PC backup especially proved a blessing in this situation - although it just decided to take all updates I had installed until then off the list of installed updates (consider this as a bug), but thankfully did not offer re-download either. It also remembers that I had switched to Microsoft Update, but does not say so in Windows Update (another small bug). br / br /Application compatibility is a lot better than I feared. Even some DOS admin programs can be made to work nicely with a rather low effort on configuration. The only program reported to be incompatible was Norton AV 2005. br / br /Explorer sometimes "hangs", especially when I open a folder containing large files but I blame this on my new AV with its four scanning engines. I just don't always think that Microsoft are the bad guys. br / br /Granted, Vista isn't flawless. But no MS OS has ever been "flawless". It's not running slow on my PC (512MB graphics memory, 2 GB DDR2 RAM) and UAC is less of a nuisance than I expected after reading some reviews. If Vista stays with us for as long as XP has done (6 years after all) we won't be able to avoid it. br / br /I chose Ultimate because I just wanted to have the ability to join my PC to a domain AND Media Center connectivity. While I don't game and therefore can't comment on it, it does as good a job on everyday office and DTP tasks as XP did. br / br /The only thing I don't like is the much too graphical installer. I guess I'm just not a mouse person. br / br /On an overall note I say "Well done, Microsoft". I like Vista Ultimate.

This is a reliable, sophisticated operating system. This version for system builders is very cheap considering Windows Vista's harsh price tag for home users. This works best on 4gb of ram, thats if you want it to perform optimal. br /THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!

Im only a student ,but Windows Vista to me seemed dogy ,since there was a rumour that Microsoft could access persinal files if you had windows vista and were connected to the internet which am for research and general things like email. So I was put off but since I saw this version ,I saw this version and I have 2 computers one of which is not connected to the internet so I used hat one (both computers are mine). br /And I didnt have a NIVIADA video card and I do sometimes play computer games which are not all that new most of them are 2002 and below .But Vista did seem to work for me there were a few hitches about compatablility but after I had updated them everything seemed to work fine .But Vista as I said has a sercurity problem which will allow microsoft to do anyhting with your files and settings ,so I havent connected that PC to the net ,but if I can create a defence against that then i will prehaps update my laptop as well if its compatable. Just make sure your computer has the right spec and everthing
