Domain Name Com's - Software : Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1

- It works.
I have spent my professional career supporting Mac and Windows pretty much equally. For home I have always used Apple hardware and OS at home so I really wanted to try using Boot Camp to turn a mac into a dual boot windows machine. Vista home seemed to be as good a choice as any. I installed it on a low end Macbook with just 1 G memory and it installed uneventfully, and it seems to be running okay, even noticeably faster than beefier, Vista machines I work on. (granted a newer, cleaner install)

Now, I can get to that mythical treasure trove of software that is not available on the Mac from home. Although to be truthful, this is pretty much just Snag-it and a few utilities. But is nice to have a windows machine at home for testing website designs on both platforms.

I'm always a little concerned about getting a home version over a full enterprise version (a little too reminiscent of Windows Me) but this seems to fine for my uses. I have not supported Vista in a professional environment yet but from what I have seen, Vista seems to be fine. Nothing really to write home about, but after running it for a while here, nothing to really complain about. If I had to say anything critical about it, I would say Windows tries to protect and think for me too much by default. Such as if I opened a folder, than yes I wanted to see the contents, but that can all be changed.

I've heard the Vista horror stories, and I believe a lot of them. But from my experience, it has been fine. If you are coming from an older version of Windows, there are a few decent new features but nothing you couldn't live without.

- Better Than I Thought
Since this is yet another incarnation of the Windows operating system,
I was reluctant to try a new Windows OS so early in release. However, since this version
of Windows Vista included Service Pack 1 I decided to give it a try after hearing so
much about it. Installation was of course as smooth as ever as with other windows
operating systems. It seems that they have gotten installation down to a fine art with very
little interaction from the user during the process.

The opening fanfare has changed and the desktop has a sleeker look
with improved functionality. The user has many things at their fingertips without
having to go through a myriad of menus and procedures as with Vista's predecessor XP. An
expected standard that windows builds into their operating systems are the programs that have
become popular that were written by other providers. As usual, Vista has their own
version which has been included in the OS. enhanced Virus and Firewall protection are at your
fingertips along with an instant search which helps you get what you need when you want it -
quickly.

Windows touts Vista as being the most secure windows ever on the
packaging but it is common knowledge that the original release of Vista has a serious security
breach that sent the good folks over at Microsoft scrambling for a patch and an effective
way to do damage control. The revised release here appears to be secure and stable

One thing that impressed me was the large array of drivers that Vista
has. This makes it the ultimate "plug and Play" system. A printer which I had to scrounge a
driver for to use with Windows XP IMMEDIATELY worked with Vista without ANY special
preparation from me except just telling it to print - Impressive...at least to me.

As we all know, further issues will probably arise with this release
of Windows but we can be confident that Microsoft will effectively deal with the problem and
provide the appropriate updates through their unique update system over the net.

In conclusion, Windows has produced a credible successor to its
venerable Windows XP operating system. With improved functionality, enhanced desktop and
vastly improved plug and play capabilities, this system will further automate everyone's
computing experiences

- Why Vista?
Having read horror stories about installation problems, I installed Vista Premium on a computer I seldom use. I found installation quick and easy with no problems I could find.

However, it's not a good sign when the best you can say about a software program is that you were able to install it. And that's the only good thing I have to say about Vista Premium.

Why the developers change old straightforward labels for confusing new labels and icons? Did they really mean to add hours to simple tasks just because I'm wandering around in the program trying to find the icon for what I want to do? Whatever happened to "user-friendly?"

An ugly side of Vista is that it's a space hog. It's absconded with more than 40% of the space on my hard drive, and I want it back! Another irritation . . . a software program I love and use weekly no longer works. I'm not in favor of spending another $350 just to get the newer version of the same program that will work and play well with Vista.

My computer, although used infrequently, is not my toy. When I use it, it's because I want to create something, not waste precious time looking at irrelevant eye candy. I can find sites that will help me disable much of the useless content, but why should I have to spend hours tweaking the computer instead of writing or doing graphic work. Doesn't make sense to me.

Why Vista? I can't think of a reason. I'm going back to XP, thanks!

- Vista Good not Perfect
Vista is not the horrible OS people make it out to be sure its not perfect but every OS has issues biggest one would be the Slowness sure i run a quad core so its not slow by any means but nowadays a single core is just not going to do it. that aside vista is a solid OS. the wireless connection center is tip top as well as windows update, search is now 1000% faster and very accurate. The OS is very pretty as well a good bonus.

Over all XP is done it was a good OS i used it for years and i still use it at work but i enjoy using my vista laptop and desktop at home. And the Sleep/hibernate function is amazing.

- Vista Home Premium SP1
Regrettably, I'm unable to review this product because the processor Intel(Q9450), which I ordered over a month ago from Amazon, has as yet not arrived. I need it to complete building my PC. Without it, I can't load Vista. Once I get the processor, I'll be able to review it.
