 This OS is very smooth January 11, 2008
This is a very responsive operating system with loads of features. I have not encountered any bugs as of yet and my system is running beautifully now that I dumped all the crapware and clean installed windows vista.
Excellent result December 30, 2007

I purchased this OED version of Windows Home Premium to install on my new iMac because it was about $100 less than the cost of the 'full' version. It installed easily and without problems, and works wonderfully. My concern that I am not really the builder of a new computer and that perhaps I would not be permitted to install this operating system on an iMac proved to be unfounded. For the record, Apple makes it so difficult for a long time user of Windows systems to learn how to use their Leopard system that I'd certainly not advise anyone to switch from Windows to a Mac.
Excellent buy, superfast shipping December 27, 2007

I just finished building a new computer and need an operating system. My old computer was a cheap Emachines that only came with a recovery DVD which you can't use on any other computer. I searched around and read alot of complaints about Vista but I decided to try it. It was very easy to install, everything was automatic! I have been using it for over a month now and haven't had a single problem with it. Its fast and has very easy to use features! This System Builders version is alot cheaper with everything that the retail version has! I would buy the 32-bit version because there isn't alot of support for the 64-bit version yet.
Stunning upgrade from Windows XP! September 1, 2007

The negative reports you read about Vista are most probably two things: 1. The computer being installed into is rather legacy and needs to be upgraded or improved with more memory. 2. The upgrader, whether clean install or update, should get some help. Vista is *miles* and a significant improvement over XP. It is more stable than XP because the video hardware is not directly linked to the OS kernal (and audio) Vista rocks in my Macbook Pro 2.2 even with the stock ram and I have not gotten one crash or error since I put it in (weeks). Too much to list that has been improved. How many years can a person stare at Windows XP? This is refreshing. It is a beautiful operating system with many add-on features. Organized more sensibly and has impressive video effects. Do not listen to the sheik negative reports on the OS - Vista is an amazing upgrade and in my computer, runs as well as OSX 10.4. Macbook Pro runs it amazingly well, though I will say that Apple configured the drivers for Vista for the Macbook Pro by burning on a CD from Bootcamp. Amazingly impressed and quited me down somewhat of the far superiority of OSX, being, I really like both. I DO use VMware Fusion beside clean boot into Vista allowing me to run Windows in the OSX desktop or just Windows apps. Parallels bogged the system downed and I overwrote the Bootcamp partition (Vista) with a backup and installed VMware that works perfectly and fast. (interestingly enough, VMware Fusion is 160+ megs and Parallels around 80, so much more coding and it shows though one cannot judge alone with size of product, with Parallels taking almost a half-hour to load drivers was quite annoying and was shaky in my view) "Wait for the SP1 before buying" is nonsense because any material tweak or fix of the system would be available by using Windows update before a service pack if needed by unique users that have reported a specific problem with a specific system and Microsoft-verified.
