Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION]

- Vista vista vista.
Why, microsoft??

A couple years ago, microsoft came out with a good product with the XP system. It was a relatively good program, with only the occasional patch. Very user friendly, and didn't make people want to shoot themeselves.

Along came Vista.

As it is aptly said in a different review, the complete de-evolution of computing. The boys at microsoft really screwed this one up, trying to copy the more popular mac software.

Whoops

They completely failed at it!! Vista is the absolute worst form of computing. Complete suckiness. It was way overcomplicated and made very user-unfriendly

I wonder how many Vista-related suicides there have been?

- Not as bad as people think.
Vista has improved alot with SP1 and pretty much all of its bugs have been fixed. Its a good time to buy

- Good, Not great
Upgraded from XP to Vista. Seems to be a smoother operating system. Fewer steps for setups and to keep the computer system working. Nicer screen displays. Watch out for Windows security that can be intrusive into other software like setting up your wireless router and adapter. Turned it off to use my own antivirus and firewall software. Currently Vista does not support wireless hubs for USB printers while XP does, I am told. Go figure. New format in drop down screens looking at directories and files takes some getting used to but then so did the dos prompt. Have Vista on two computers and like the operating system in general.

- Avoid if you can
It is pretty. But that's about the only advantage of Vista over XP. PC dealers are now reverting to offering PCs with XP, because there is such a demand to AVOID Vista.

I am not a computer expert, but use it all day at work for word processing, email, spreadsheets, statistics programs, internet, and a variety of other programs. Also do quite a bit of photo editing and cataloguing, music, accounting, etc. I rely on my PC a lot for home and for office.

Caveat to my review: I did not spend $4000 on my PC system. I don't know if that would solve the problems. But I did buy a brand new PC that came with Home Premium as the only option for the new PC.

My main complaint is how slow everything is. It literally takes about 8 minutes or more to boot up. I often wait 1-2 minutes for my Photoshop Elements to open. In contrast, on my old laptop (2.5 years old, XP, but with same Photoshop program), the program is zippy. Pretty much the same for rest of the functions. I have adjusted the start up setting as per Vista website recommendations with no avail. And I'm not even talking about the crashes, bizarre interruptions, etc. that seem to occur.

It is a sad state of affairs really, because 99% of folks would be just as well served by XP. MS needs to make money, so I guess they have to come out with a new system. But it is just bizarre that a business can come up with a WORSE product that everyone is virtually forced to buy. How does this happen? The ONLY reason I got Vista was because I needed a new computer and a new PC only came with Vista. I did not want it, and I just can't imagine why vast majority of PC users would want it. Isn't there something wrong here?

- even worse after installing Service Pack 1
As has been noted elsewhere, Windows Vista is the best advertisement for Max and Linux out there.

I've been a dedicated Microsoft OS user going back to the pre-windows days of DOS, and this is the first time that one of Microsoft's little masterworks has driven me to Apple. I recently upgraded my desktop machine to an iMac, which I recommend without reservation.

Unfortunately, to get there I first had to undergo the frustration of purchasing a new laptop with Vista pre-installed.

I'm a journalist with minimal computing needs--word processing, photo uploading, email and Web browsing--but I need my computer to work well and work quickly to meet crazy deadlines while on the road.

Instead of repeating what's already been said in many of the negative reviews here, let me just tell you that Vista doesn't cut it. Windows XP did the job fine, and Vista makes me feel like I'm trying to do my work with a manual typewriter, a fax machine, and a photocopier kludged together with twine and electrical tape. Sure, I can get it to work, usually, but the process is so maddeningly slow and bug-ridden that I often spend as much time struggling with the tools of my trade as doing my job. Not at all the situation I want to be in.

I installed Service Pack 1 hoping like mad that Microsoft had miraculously fixed all the problems inherent in Vista, and found instead that my system had become even slower and more buggy. For instance, I can no longer play a full-screen movie with Windows Media Player on my HP Pavilion tx1000z without choppiness, the HP-branded DVD player no longer functions, and my system overall now seems about as stable as the old Windows 95, i.e., it crashes, hard, far too often, and without warning.

Right now I'm looking at either downgrading my laptop to XP (the reason I'm here on the Microsoft product page), or giving my laptop to my three-year-old and getting a MacBook. Actually, I'll probably do both since I don't want to saddle even my three-year-old with Vista, and I have found to my tremendous relief that the Mac OS is everything Vista tries to be, and very much more.

The only thing holding me back at this point is the extreme annoyance of shoveling yet more money at Microsoft to purchase another of their products to fix problems the company created in the first place. Hey, come to think of it, maybe Vista is nothing more than a plot to drive sales of XP!

In any case, I have Microsoft to thank for steering me toward to best OS I've ever used, Mac OS Leopard. Thanks, Microsoft! (Fun fact: Windows PCs show up in the Mac networking utility as beige monitors displaying blue screens of death.)

Bottom line: save yourself a whole lot of headache and steer well clear of Windows Vista. Service Pack 1 does not, repeat, does not solve Vista's problems, it makes them worse.
