What is your ultimate impression on Vista?

I have not used vista edition but i have heard it slows down ur pc,so i prefered only xp edition

Vista is the most intrusive, invasive version of Windows yet. And, gee, I wonder why its been a big FLOP! Maybe because it crashs if it doesn't check in at least once a week with Microsoft? Or it reports all your doings to Microsoft? What if you don't have internet access? You're fried!

Well I am going to Rank Vista right up there with the other MS Operating Systems (OS). Now the Reason I am doing this is due to the Fact that as MicroSoft came out in the Past with each of its prior Operating Systems, each OS needed more and more system requirements. Look at the trend and I will only go back just a couple. Vista needs 1 gig ram or Better XP needs 512 gig ram or Better Win2k needs 128 ram or better see what I mean and this is just a short example. you have people complain about the system requirements that are needed to run Vista but all the OS's in the Past have needed the same thing. So why are they complaining

I have not installed vista on my system, i'm still running Great XP. however, I have installed some vista transformation pack to make visuals look like vista and i got great visuals using Windows Blind and Vista transformation pack in combined. It gives me my xp a vista look. i have heard there is many probs in vista and lotta software are facing issue in terms of compatibility. Microsoft are trying to over come it but it will take time to fix bugs.

Hi there slavezero. I have upgraded to Vista and it sucks, you can't find your way round for ages, and I mean ages, It may have the extra stuff on it but it still sucks and I wanna downgrade but I don't fully own the computer plus the money thing. Out of a 10/10 score I am sorry but Vista for me would only get 2 or 3. This is poor as far as I am concerned. Catch ya later pretty_babe

Intel Dual Core 1.8 and 1gb of RAM is still not satisfactory resources for Windows Vista, when you keep the features on. If you are not going to use its "Vista features", then why you will be having a high cost Windows Vista?

I had to upgrade a couple of months ago, because my old computer crapped out. I love my new Vista system. It took some getting used to, but I love it. One thing I don't like is that there is no easy and simple way to capture images from videos. I have a handycam that puts videos onto tiny DVD's, and I like to capture still shots from my own DVD's. The only way I could do this is with the new program on the webcam that comes with my camera, and this is a much slower process than the DVD program that came with XP. Otherwise I am enjoying my Vista experience. My husband hates Vista, but then again he does different word that I do. All I need is the ability to get on the internet, to write and to print. I don't have to do a lot of the office things that he needs to deal with on a regular basis.

I have used vista OS for three days ,it was pre-installed in my notebook and I have instlled XP in my computer.In my opinion ,it's beautiful but it need more memory than XP .I do not like to spend 700M memory only for it's beauty.

I don't have Microsoft Vista installed yet but based from my friends' experiences, my impression is that it is not suited for mid-end computers which means it won't be catering more computers at this time. Microsoft Vista is a resource hog.

I have three computers varying in age and I find that Vista is the worst of the bunch. 1. An old ThinkPad (remember that?) has Windows NT - I used to use that OS while doing some software development work. 2. A nice Dell 2400 with lots of memory and Windows XP - I use that most of the time. 3. An HP laptop with Vista. I hate it. I've got more problems, idiosyncratic issues and headaches with that thing than the other two. NT runs slow, but it runs. XP has it's own issues, but it works. Vista seems to be in a constant state of update-ness and those little problems remind me of mosquitoes at a summer picnic. I really don't think I'll fiddle with it much and were I rich enough to purchase (or somehow acquire) XP I'd seriously consider a wipe of Vista and installing XP, but who needs that long winded headache.

Vista a good OS. It's really secured and easy to use but some applications included are not needed, it's just adding to the space. It also needs good hardware specs. I have a Vista at home but I keep a Windows XP installed so I can enjoy both :)
