Summary: Works for me
Comment: Many complain about it but i have had no issues with this version of windows.

Summary: Better than XP
Comment: I just got a machine pre-loaded with VISTA Home Basic on my home desktop. I must admit, after hearing all horror stories and crticisms, I was prepared to dump the OS for my trusty old XP Professional, but after using it for couple of days, I decided to keep Vista.
I can say, for home use, it turns out, Vista is better than the old XP. And why should it not be?
There are couple of things you have to keep in mind though. My new desktop is fast. It has 4GB RAM and a powerful dual processor. Also, the harddrive is 7200 RPM so that helps a lot too.
It has nice features for my home usage. I like the fact that even though I have admin rights, it runs me as a poweruser, so I cannot do any damage accidentally, and more importantly, a program infected with a virus cannot wreck havoc. Time will tell whether this feature works though. For now, I dont mind running programs that need systems access specifically as administrator. Caution: It requires some training and getting used to.
I liked the fact that it arranged all my photos very well. It also offers a very beautiful user interface, better and easier way to search files and contents within files. Programs on your system can also be searched which is easier.
I love the overall user interface, and its pretty fast. I think its important that you have an adequate hardware if you plan to run Vista. Dont run it on a 1GB RAM machine with poor processor. You will probably hate it.
My advise, dont listen to people who said, Vista sucks..It doesn't. If you are not sure, goto bestbuy or Staples, and take it for a test-drive.

Summary: Vista OS Goooood!!!!

Summary: Better than I thought
Comment: I had WIndows Vista Home Premium running on my laptop and I loved it, but my desktop that was running on Windows XP Home Media Edition kind of went braindead. I couldn't recover it so I went ahead and bought a version of Vista. It installed without a hitch and was running in no time. I don't know but I had the early version of Vista when it barely came out on my laptop but this new version just seems a bit more responsive with some added visual effects. They both have the same stats except my laptop is a dual core so mine should be quicker. Oh well, at least I got a computer working as if it were brand new. Looking forward with what Microsoft has up their sleeve with WIndows 7 coming up.

Summary: vista basic stinks do not buy
Comment: We spent a lot of time researching to buy a system with vista. I found a pretty good system configuration and bought it. To my surprise after exploring the system I figured out. It was an exact copy of xp with a few more features. The laptop is so slow; it takes it 3 hours to open the start menu. So I took action disabling all of the startup items and a few things that I also do on my xp desktop. Still nothing! I bought it in 2006 and I am still trying to fix it! Wait until windows 7 comes out please. Vista basic, premium, ultimate, and business stink. Lastly why can't they release 2 versions like xp? buy:Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgradeor Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition UPGRADE with SP2 i love xp! come on! it is so reliable! this is by far the worst os ever. mac or windows. i wish amazon let you do 0 stars because this is zero stars.
