4 out of 5 stars After SP1 pretty good   April 9, 2008
Matthew King
Before SP1 Vista was junk like most people say, SP1 reduced its' overhead by quite a bit. About 20% less ram and 10% less CPU usage. It is more secure than XP which is why I installed it. I haven't run across any incompatibilities after SP1 which was common early on.
You can install the full version from the upgrade copy, don't upgrade from xp to vista you will be sorry, that route is still a mess.



1 out of 5 stars M$ I want my money back or a different OS!   April 10, 2008
C. Jones (San Diego, CA USA)
I cant really describe how disgusted I am with this OS I have involuntary reboots in the middle of working on tasks and other difficult to describe problems. Its slow as molasses and behaves like it is infected with a Virus.

An upgrade is an improvment, this is far from it!



1 out of 5 stars Cost me $700   July 7, 2008
Dutchman (Puget Sound, WA USA)
Microsoft Vista Business came bundled with a Lenovo laptop. Various glitches prompted numerous calls to my Microsoft Certified IT expert. Most recently, the system would just lose contact with the Internet for unknown reasons, then just as mysteriously regain contact several days later. Sometimes a "route print" at the administrator command prompt would show two "0.0.0.0" route entries, and deletion of these would sometimes (but not always) remedy the problem. Anyway, my IT expert finally just took Vista off and installed XP. I'm guessing my final outlay on this headache will total $700, not to mention my time.

Absolutely avoid the Vista operating system. I loaded Linux Ubuntu on a spare machine while the laptop was in the shop, and got instant browser, email, and Microsoft compatible word processing and spreadsheet. No flash, just functionality.
