Rating:  - Another Microsoft OSI did not find this particularly helpful. I could not install it on my old laptop. Rating:  - Out in the coldI received the software program Windows Vista Ultmate quickly. It installed just fine. The problem came later. I was asked by Microsoft to register the product with the Product key that came with the package. I tryed three times and each time was told the Product Key was invalled. I have sent three enquires to the party I purchased it from with no reply. I guess I just gave away my money. Any way I hope this keeps some one else from making the same mistake. Don't order from this party. Gene Shields Rating:  - VISTA a vast improvementAfter reading many of the reviews I realised that most people should not own a computer. If you go back to the late 90's you will read the same kind of tripe about Win2000 and XP! Not to say that these OS's were perfect upon release, to be sure they were not. However I use to be in the PC and networking biz and I can tell you most people who had problems with these OS's had hardware issues like bad Ram and Flaky chipsets they also ran flaky software some of it hacked. Also viruses and other problems were usually evident. I see the same thing going on now with Vista. I took part in the Beta testing and even the Beta was way stable in comparison with XP or Win2000. I have been running Vista from the day it became available and I have never experienced an OS crash! I do a lot of intensive graphics, gaming, transcoding and conversion, web editing, video and sound editing, also E-house applications. So my machine gets a work out. I have found that doing your homework (researching hardware) before building a machine is a necessity. Also avoiding questionable software and good security practices are all very importent in maintaining a stable operating environment. Much has been made of VISTA's supposed incompatibility. LIES! VISTA32 is compatible with just about everything that XP is compatible with. The exception are programs with kernal mode drivers. IT was wise of microsoft to prevent the loading of those sorts of drivers and thers no reason for software companies to have that kind od access to your OS. Now VISTA64 is another can of beans. That is very stable also but there are hardware compatibiltiy issues there but thats actually the fault of hardware manufactures being slow or reluctant to write 64 bit drivers. All and all VISTA has been the OS I have been waiting for since the 80's. You cant go wrong with VISTA so long as you have good hardware and know about best practises with software and security. Rating: - Not Worthy At AllPros: * It has better security (than XP... Do not confuse with other OS's...) * Parental Controls are fairly decent Cons: * To this better security... It's either on or off... Meaning that if you disable UAC your computer realistically has no security * The OS is unstable * Many of the features that Vista contains are from other OS's just 'dimmed-down' making them worthless * Too many resource requirements * Techs like me generally hate this Windows version because everything is 'thrown at you' and to do the simplest of things you have to take the 'incompetent' path... For example for me to just get to my network connections area I have to go through about five windows Rating: - Horrible OS Poor compatibility. Poor performance. I need HOW much ram to just run the OS? Driver incompatibilities with my relatively new hardware. |
