 Don't do it! August 31, 2007

I just bought a new computer with vista on it and half my software will not run. I'm going to return the computer and order one with XP!
Vista is an expensive, sick dog August 25, 2007

Vista makes WindowsMe look good. MS changed almost everything without improving it. I wish I purchased my new PC with XP. The lack of customer empathy MS has demonstrated is shocking. Try uninstalling software! Watch it crawl as you try to open an email while loading a DVD.
Migrating from XP to Vista reminded me of migrating from a IBM typewriter to a PC.
 Not ready for prime time August 23, 2007

Thank god I didn't have to upgrade my own computer with this not ready for prime time OS, instead I used on a text box here at work, where we need to be able to perform tests on different operating systems.
I've read many of the complaints others have had with Vista, and thankfully, my needs for the OS are so minimal that I haven't had to struggle with the same kinds of issues others have dealt with. My upgrade went fairly smoothly, although it did take forever.
My beef with Vista (other than the sluggish performance, and the fact that I can't figure out what you really get other than a translucent interface) is that after I installed a new audio driver, that Vista keeps removing it, so that the only way to have audio working is to reinstall the driver, and then wait for Windows to uninstall it with no warning at all.
How much time and money did MS put into this? Pitiful, pitiful. Even MS apologist/cheerleader, PC Magazine, is starting to admit that this OS is a dog.
 Needs lots of power August 23, 2007

I love vista, haven't had any problems with it yet, i've been using it for over a month now. I have found that it does need a lot of power, I have 2 computers, I tried to install it on my desktop computer with pentium 4 2.4 GHz and found that It runs slow so I uninstalled it. Everything is good just requires a powerful PC.
Avoid Vista at all costs August 19, 2007

I have just three days ago purchased a new computer from Dell with Vista already loaded. It has been three days of frustration dealing with an unresponsive computer that takes forever to deal with the simplests of tasks. Removing AOL . . . 1/2 an hour. Removing Norton . . . another 1/2 an hour and I am not exaggerating. Starting up the computer takes forever. I am fairly knowledgeable about computers. I am a internet support agent who has been hearing complaints since day one about how slow this operating system and now I know what they are talking about. The excitement of buying a new computer has been totally destroyed by this unwieldy operating system. I am seriously considering sending this computer back to Dell and buying a Mac.
