Rating: - Looks nice, but just not worth it.
After upgrading my system from Windows XP SP3 to Windows Vista SP1, it didn't take long for me to realize I wished I hadn't bothered. My system takes twice as long to boot-up, and my programs take longer to load. Turning off Aero speeds things up a bit, but Aero is the one thing about Vista I really like. It's not my system either. I have a fast Intel Penryn Processor, and 3GB's of RAM. I'll admit that the upgrade was painless for me, and not nearly the nightmare that some users experienced. I also ... Read More
Rating: - Windows Vista is ok but not great
I had to do a clean install of Vista and I am still not sure if I like it better than XP. The reason I upgraded is I wanted to use Open GL features of Vista. I have had some problems getting it set up, but it is working now.
Vista still has the hangups and crashes as XP did, but seems to be a bit more stable.
The best thing I can say is "I am getting used to it."
Rating: - It's not as evil as people are saying...
...but if you must, stick to XP. I first got Vista when I bought my laptop. Best Buy didn't have XP, so I was forced to get it. I heard a lot of bad things about this program. Nowadays, every time you see it Mac ad, it rips on Vista. (Sorry, Mac, but I'll never get your computers. I have computer xenophobia.) People are hating it, blaming it for everything bad that happens to their PC's.
So, seeing that I'm using Vista for many months now, I honestly don't want to get rid of it ASAP, but ... Read More
Rating:  - Stick with trusty XP! This product is shocking
I wrote a review of Vista not long after I started using it. I gave it two stars and suggested that while it's not worth replacing XP with Vista as there are a few annoyances, chiefly the lack of some of XP's best features, Vista isn't too bad. I am not a Microsoft basher, as I think XP is an excellent operating system. I've now realised just how good it was after a few months with Vista. I have wasted more time sorting out problems in Vista in two months than I did during the seven years I had with XP. ... Read More
Rating: - More trouble than it's worth
I bought a new Dell XPS 1330 a few months ago which came with Vista as the OS and it's an inferior and buggy product. Here are the issues I've had to deal with:
1. Right out of the box, Windows would not shut down. Vista gives you something like seven options but all of them led to the same thing--the system froze. The only way to turn off my computer was with the power button.
2. The problem with the system turn off mysteriously solved itself after a month, but then I had problems ... Read More
