 After over a half-decade, we are finally done with XP! January 31, 2007
15 out of 48 found this review helpful
Vista honestly is a vital necessity for the progress of...well...everything, considering the vast majority of the world runs on Windows. We have been bogged down too long with the same system having the same limitations and flaws, flaws that have been patched here and there rather than truly solving the overall problem.
I have been running Vista:RC2 for a long time now, and being someone who "lives on" and "lives for" their computer, I can say that it is a blessing. The official release of Vista Ultimate has a number of notable improvements from the RC2; and considering that the majority of the world is running Windows already, the upgrade is all that is necessary.
To give you an idea of how old XP is:
When it was released, I was an UNDERCLASSMAN in high school. Today, I am a Chemical Engineer with two degrees.
Choosing to keep XP (6+ years old) would be similar to choosing to keep Windows 95 in 2001 or 2002.
I promise you won't be dissappointed with the upgrade, especially if you system is powerful.
My system specs:
HP Media Center PC
3GB RAM
3.4GHz Pentium 4 HT
512MB ATI Radeon Graphics Card running two big LCD displays
2 TV Tuner Cards
The 'Wow' starts now! January 31, 2007

My Windows Vista experience started when I recieved RC2 a few months ago. I can honestly say that the features included with RC2 are excellent, but the RTM features greatly outweigh those of RC2.
The upgrade process is extremely stable, offering minimal input from the user. Personally, I approve of the new boot envoronment (a small DOS-like operating system runs prior to booting to Vista), which is also present both in the upgrade process.
I immediately proceeded to finding the wonderful new features of the operating system. Windows Media Center is much better, offering features such as online content & sports feeds! However, the best feature would be 'Windows Ultimate Extras', where you can get the new 'Windows DreamScene'. Windows DreamScene, also known as 'Motion Desktop', basically allows users running Windows Vista Ultimate to have an animated desktop background!
Overall, Windows Vista is a great operating system, and as a tech, I am putting my approval for Windows Vista.
 Vast Improvement to XP January 30, 2007

I found Vista to be very intuitive, if not a little annoying in its security pop-ups. Its also much faster and looks cleaner. This is what XP should've been.
So its essentially a glossed-over xp with the features we wanted after windows 98.
I can't wait to see more ultimate extras! One can only play poxer so long.
 Just too slow January 30, 2007

I have Intel Dual Core computer with 2GB DDR2 memory with 300GB Hard Disk Drive running Windows Vista.
* It is super slow and takes a LONG time (~40 seconds) to open any of Office-2007 application (It used to take close to 2 seconds on windows-xp/office-2003). Even with beefed up system my system comes to halt with this defective overloaded software (which does same as office-2003).
* Second bad part, Vista is loaded with LOT of Digital Right Management softwares, which does a lot of encryption/decryption even for the simplest task like playing audio. This causes system to slow down considerably. All this is forcefully fed to you on special request from Holywood studios... Now the question remains, why should I have to spend a heck lot more to get really poor performance at the request of movie studios. Answer is Microsoft wants your computer to be controlled by Hollywood studios even if you have paid for your software.
**** Bottom Line ****
Don't buy Windows Vista because computers not fast enough to support it and Vista security has not been tested yet... Wait and Watch... Don't buy it..
