Good Points: None for me.
Bad Points: Slow to Loadup Constantly Crashes Does Not let you put programmes on without it crashing. Constant Problems with your spyware etc. constant asking for you to update it.
General comments: What has happened to windows? I think they seriously need to sort windows vista out as I have just constant problems with it.
Advise? Don't by Windows Vista!

Upgraded from xp as I had severe problems and could not get fixed, sorry I ever bought Vista now as it seems I can't use any xp programmes with it was very expensive for me, my advice is to anyone thinking of upgrading if I can stick with the xp version. I will personally have to fork out at least two to three hundred more pounds it seems if not more for new material and also a new printer as this thing refuses to accept it in my experience.

I never thought I would write a review of Windows Vista, but....
I've been putting off an 'upgrade' to Vista for quite a while. In fact, Vista Home Premium only lasted a week before XP went back on. Each manufacturer has to provide its own drivers, so is that Microsoft's' fault?
I've just upgraded my cpu to a intel Q6600, with 8 Gb mem and 2 Tb of storage. Do you remember when a 4Gb hard drive was huge?
Point is, I think I was a little harsh on Vista. With a decent setup it really is quite good ...

This is very good to xp... yes xp works with anything we know.. but vista will mature.. and when a windows gets old its time to change it... yes some people don't like it and have problems.. but not all pc's are the same... you have to take it account the age off you pc and the age off you software that runs in it.. but thumps up for the hard work in it.. xp had problems when that first come out...

Listing all its inadequacies would be as tedious as using it.
If you are currently using XP and you have it set-up the way you like, don't change to Vista. There is no option to have any XP look or feel, with extra bells and whistles, as you might expect.

Vista should never have been released in the state that it is in. Manufacturers should have the courage to say no to Vista and insist on XP installations. MS should be ashamed of itself for releasing a beta as a finished product.

I would buy any new versions of Microsoft Windows Vista as well even recommend this to a friend as it is really nice and really easy to use. I like the easy user interface on the OS and overall just think its brilliant. I like windows vista for such reasons:
- The look of the OS, such has the theme design as well as the designs of the icons which are really nice
- The flip 3d is really cool and presented nicely
- How easy it is to install onto the computer so much easier and faster then windo ...

I have stopped using Windows Vista because it was not ready to see release from the lab yet and until a good service pack comes out I have gone back to using XP SP2 because it's user friendly.

Vista is a complete waste of time. Very annoying when you want to make a minor change like deleting a file, you have to go through various pop ups and confirmation screens. Shockingly useless!

Windows XP, released 2000/1, was a huge hit. It has been Microsoft's biggest hit of an OS. Microsoft had even bigger hopes for Windows Vista, stating that the "Wow" of the technological world would begin with this new installment of Windows...but Microsoft has been passionately wrong.
In the view of many, Windows Vista was a big mistake. I think that is has been released too early, actually needing far more development to make it worth while.
I won't state all of the obvious good and bad f ...

If anyone is thinking of getting a new computer with the new software (Windows Vista) then think before you buy as Vista is harder to use and it will not let you install Nero 5,6,7 and any other software it will let you install Nero Ultra Edition but this is not out yet to buy as I look for it on the net but I did download the demo and it is working but I have not burned any thing off it yet. So try and stay with XP as this will let you install any software that you will need to use not like Vis ...

Um, For those who value performance over glossy looks, turn the other way and run! Stick with XP and ensure compatibility with your current software.

I am surprised at how many problems I had with Vista, I have never had problems like this with previous Windows upgrades and after reading forums on the net it seems I am not alone. I looks as though Microsoft have released Vista before it is fully ready.
As there was no way that I was going to upgrade all of the hardware and software that didn't work with Vista, I took it back to the shop for a full refund and have now re-installed Windows XP.
P.S. I am using a 3.5Ghz CPU, 1Gb RA ...

I'll be frank, Windows XP bugged the hell out of me, with its twee interface and its massive, gaping security holes so when Microsoft released Vista with promises of better security and an interface aimed more at people who like to be able to control most aspects of their computer then I was hooked. As soon as it came out I got it and installed. So is it better than XP? yes certainly, but by how much...Well read on....
Firstly the installation. I installed this on a Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz mac ...
