 Works great, runs fast November 29, 2007

I went with Vista 64-bit when I built my dream system and I haven't regretted it. I do video and photo editing as well as game playing (like BioShock) so I wanted a system that could handle it all. I've got a quad-core processor, 8 GB RAM, RAID 0 drives, and an 8800 GTS video card, so certainly Vista isn't slow for me. It's been very stable; the only problem I have is my scanner is not supported under Vista so I need to buy a new one.
We have Vista and XP machine on our home network and they all get along fine. I have no trouble recommending Vista, as long as you've got a robust system. If you've got older hardware check Microsoft's site for a tool you can run that will evaluate how ready your system is for Vista.
 Works well for limited use October 22, 2007

Finding Vista 64-bit supported hardware was difficult. Many hardware vendors would say Vista is supported, but only for 32-bit Vista. The most difficult item to find was the wireless network card. GUI is colorful and interface is easy to use. But it is also processor and memory pig. The operating system would take about 1 GB so you would need about 2 GB of memory to run applications. Most 32-bit applications will run well under Vista 64. The purpose of operating system is manage the system resource. The operating system eats up most of resource so there isn't much to manage so I guess this is consider as good... I use it for my HTPC, only runs few applications for video and image processing.
 Well, it works, but it's a step backward! June 9, 2007

This is true of all flavors of Vista. I got it on my new dual-core pavilion, which now runs slower than my old single-core Presario with WindowsXP. The reason is that all actions now have to go through a system subprocess, which REALLY slows things down. The games I play now run at half-speed compared even to much slower processors - so now they're unplayable. Also, there are a many pieces of software (like my Palm Sync app) that simply won't run under vista. So if you can avoid it, don't use it - get WinXP if possible. The problem is Microsoft is trying to force vista on everyone by withdrawing drivers for WinXP from new computer support. If anyone knows where I can get WinXP drivers for my Pavilion dv6325us I would appreciate it if you could tell me!! Then I could dump vista for WinXP. The only nice technical feature I've found is that it will let you resize partitions - other than that single feature, it's a leap *backward* in user friendliness and ability from XP.

After using Vista for nearly a month, going back to XP seems like walking five years into the past. Overall it's a beautiful system. It has kinks- like User Control annoyances and a lack of available drivers for 64-bit, made worse by the requirement they be digitally signed. As far as the functionality, an excellent choice.
If you're tech savvy and don't mind not being able to call Microsoft for support, this is a product for you.
Awesome! February 8, 2007

This is definitely the best windows OS at the moment.
Unlike other reviews that seem to indicate otherwise on the web, I have found Vista made my system faster then when I had win2k running, and I don't really have a power machine either. (running sempron 2600 64, 1 GB ram, 256mb basic video card)
