I have XP running on a bootcamp partition on my MacBook and it is doing just fine. I spend most of my working time in Word, hardly ever using any of the other programs in the Office suite. However, I use the Adobe products Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator a whole bunch. Other than that I play solitaire, watch videos and, of course, use both Explorer and Firefox when I go online. That's about it for me, software wise, and XP handles it all without fail, without crashing and without giving me any ... Read More

3) Vista Basic is, by far, the least RAM-consuming Vista product available. You might be able to run ... Read More

Even word documents you wrote yourself will not load without permission being given by a supervisor (I forget the exact title they use) even when you are the only one who uses the computer. You have to do virus checks et al several times a day even if your computer (like mine) is not connected to the internet. It constantly runs programs without asking if you want them or telling you they are running. and then turning the ... Read More

Bought a new laptop that came with Vista basic on it. I used it for about 15 minutes before I gave up and wiped the hard drive and installed XP. The pointless animations on every menu push the CPU to it's limits, leaving nothing left for, say, internet browsing, or solitaire, for that matter. What especially bugs me is that Vista has such a resemblance to Mac OSX. If I wanted a Mac operating system, I would buy a mac. But no, I guess Microsoft feels threatened, and decided to blend in with the opposition. ... Read More

I am a MAC user and Leopard walks all over Vista, however I used to run both OS's using my new Macbook Pro and I have grown to tolerate Vista somewhat since I now have a computer than runs Vista with out a hitch. A Hitch meaning I have resources left to do other things other than just run the OS. I choose to buy Home Basic becasue it has the features I was looking for In a Windows OS and allows me access to the windows only programs and games that I cannot access using Leopard. I read the features of all ... Read More
