 Do not upgrade unless absolutely necessary November 6, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased a new computer back in January and decided recently to upgrade to Vista. This has been a huge mistake! I've had numerous compatibility problems with various drivers and so forth. I've also been advised to back up my system while I'm trying to resolve the issues, so I had to buy an external hard drive. Unless you absolutely need Vista, do not upgrade!

Incredibly disappointed. I was happy with XP, now that I'm on Vista I've had to get accustomed all over again with operating a computer. This includes learning how to uninstall programs, navigate folders, changing options, and the like, all over again. I'm also using a much upgraded, more recent computer and the speed of powering up, shutting down, opening programs is the same as it was under my older, cheaper computer using XP. In short, I feel like I've spent a lot of money to get exactly what I had before using an older computer and XP, not withstanding the nuisance of familiarising myself with something new all over again. If I could choose again I'd have just stuck with windows XP.
What a MONUMENTAL waste of money and TIME! October 30, 2007

On paper (microsoft's) all seems fine and rather cool...but after using it-and I mean REALLY trying-I have decided it really sucks.
Buggy, slow, crashes all the time.
I have a very powerful machine, with lots of ram and I have been using pc's since 1985.
Forget the cost of the software (high) it is the cost of my time!!
I have finally decided to buy an iMac and LOVE it...what a bonehead I am...should have moved sooner. In my defense, apple wasn't ready for business prime time, now it is.
I think the end of MS based software is nearing the end.
If you must stick with pc's, then use xp because after all these years IT finally works ok.
Vista is not ready for upgrade from Xp or 2000! October 27, 2007

You may only trust Vista if it comes with a brand new PC.It will run fine.
DO not try to clean install or upgrade on a branded computer (especially Sony or Toshiba). Stay out of it! You will have bugs all over.It is not as easy it looks.Buy a new PC if you really want Vista or buy a Mac and install Boot Camp to run Vista on it.Vista works on Mac better than PC's.
HORRIBLE DO NOT GET VISTA!!! October 20, 2007

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST OPERATING SYSTEM EVER CREATED!!! DO NOT GET VISTA FOR ANYTHING!! IT IS FULL OF GLITCHES. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE MICROSOFT ADS!! Your computer WILL freeze, it WILL crash, and be 10 times slower! Vista also leaves your computer completely open to viruses and spyware.
The windows 95 was a better operating system. VISTA CONVINCED ME TO FINALLY GET A MAC, WHICH WAS BY FAR THE BEST COMPUTER BUYING DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE! The mac operating system is completely user friendly, fast, no crashes, and NO VIRUSES!!! It's just so better organized... and with no glitches to report yet. PLUS, IT'S READY TO USE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!!!
DO NOT GET VISTA, GET A MAC!!!
