Rating:  - Be warned
Before buying this product I read the system requirements. I also used the windows vista upgrade advisor program at Microsoft.com. After checking both I was reassured that my computer could upgrade to windows vista. The first problem I had was while installing windows vista. My computer could not be upgraded for some reason and I had to do a clean install. This meant that I lost all of my files and programs. The second problem was even after installing vista it was extremely slow and my computer ... Read More
Rating:  - Difficult to install
I just couldn't install this and I've installed XP over 10 times without a problem. From what I read I think it has to do with Sata hard drives, I think a driver neeeds to be installed prior to installation, I just couldn't do it and didn't want to spend anymore time trying.
Rating: - Works fine
I got a new pc, 2.2 GHZ processor, 1 GB Ram. Mobo video card is 256 MB, I believe. Got it with Windows XP. Decided to buy the Vista upgrade, as I will probably need to deal with it at work.

Second there's Vista Home Premium. Add Flip 3D and Aero to the version above and the availability to do scheduled backups. Also you get Windows Media Player, which you don't get with Home Basic. Windows Media Center ... Read More
Rating: - I'm Pretty Impressed, So There You Go 5 Stars
I've been using Vista with SP1 for a couple weeks now on two different computers, my MacBook Pro and my iMac, both running on Bootcamp partitions and I have to say I'm pretty darned impressed.
I have lots of ram, ram to spare in both my machines, as I'm a Photoshop girl and both my machines are the latest and greatest Apple has to off, so I was good to go as far as hardware was concerned. I had no problems running the Aero eye candy and though it's no Leopard, it's quite nice. I liked ... Read More
