 ANOTHER horrible Microsoft Product November 17, 2007

The list of problems with Vista is too great to list here, mostly because my blood pressure will rise to the point that my head explodes.
know this: most games compatable with XP will NOT run on vista properly.
bottom line, STAY WITH VISTA AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!! or buy an apple...

Please stay away from spending money on this program. It makes you feel like you are a thief... only supports microsoft programs, downloading files is a real pain, if not impossible, it crashes frequently, its heavy on the RAM. Its the worst thing that has happend to computers.
The grafics are nice, though, but beware that all you'll get to do is watch the pretty icons, everything else, EVERYTHING is a problem.
I have to give it one star, but actually I rate it -5 stars.
Do not upgrade unless absolutely necessary November 6, 2007

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.
