 Vista Home Premium Upgrade Review April 17, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Did a clean install over a XP pro. I highly recommend a clean install rather than installing over your old stuff. I love the Vista graphic design. I have a dual core Pentium and 4gb memory. I think you need this kind of power for Vista to operate without a hitch. I would guess that alot of problems people are having are related to an under qualified system.
I have only had one problem so far, sometimes my Microsoft wireless keyboard hangs up. I have the Vista drivers. It only happens now and then and can be remedied with a restart.

After using Vista for about two weeks, I absolutely hated it. I was seriously considering taking back my new laptop. Fortunately, I realized that I could shut off UAC. This is the annoying feature that CONSTANTLY asks you if Vista is allowed to perform any given action. Getting rid of that has made me content using Vista.
My other gripes are the same ones you will find everywhere else. Compared to XP, Vista is slow and hogs large amounts of resources. Simply put, it is fairly inefficient. Make sure your computer goes above and beyond the recommended specs.
In the end, I wish I could go back to XP, and I won't buy a Mac. So, I guess I am stuck here for a while.
 Getting cheaper and still not worth a dollar. April 14, 2008

Windows Vista, what else can be said to deter people from upgeading to this unreliable, bloated operating system. Nothing new comes out of this OS, you once get another leftover version of windows 95 with all new problems and headaches for the user. I switched to Mac after upgrading to Vista on my compaq laptop, it was so horrible I was forced to choose an alternitive and im so glad I did. Anyone who defends Windows, it's virusus, it's relentless Messenger service, it's crashes, blue screen's of death and down right pain in the backside interface has never tried OS X or Xandros Linux. Ubuntu went the way of Vista as well looks good but doesen't work. So try OS X and leave Windows and it's headaches for the windows fanboys.
A waste of money April 14, 2008

Impossible to install in my computer although the system is more that ready to handle this awful product from Microsoft. After installed, the computer kept crashing over and over, every time I upgraded a driver or install an application.
It was so frustrating that I decided to go back to Windows XP. No problems with the computer with Windows XP Professional. This was a waste of money on an OS that looks to be incomplete. This Upgrade was a nightmare.
Terrible Product ! ! - See the Non-Upgrade Version For Real Reviews April 13, 2008

I am an advanced/expert Windows user, computing since the days of DOS. It is simply a fact that this Vista OS is absolutely terrible. Look into actual reviews, not those posted by Microsoft employees. You will regret purchasing Vista I assure you. Read the reviews under the full product, not the upgrade which has very, very few reviews posted. If you have not yet bought a new computer, I suggest you buy a MAC. I, unfortunately, recently bought another IBM computer, and esp. with the Vista OS (which I am replacing with XP) am regreting it daily.
