Software Reviews of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: "Windows is looking for solutions to your problem"
Summary: 2 Stars
Every time this message comes up after some sort of crash (and it happens alot) I always half expect it to tell me to trash this PC and go to the Apple store. I have a Dell PC and also use a MacBook Pro with Leopard. the similarities are near the surface but it's the inner stuff that really is the downfall of Vista.
Apple's OS is full of eye candy (much like Vista) but it comes through with a level of brilliance that Vista can't match. I have to admit that Vista looks great in the store on those screens -- way better than XP and frankly I ditched XP and use only Vista. But several times a day I'm cursing it.
Crashes are numerous and usually it's windows explorer or internet explorer that does it. I've run every utility, keep my disk and registry clean, virus software up to date, etc etc. Never had so many crashes under XP.
Performance is also an issue. With my Mac i can usually start using it within a minute of turning it on. With Vista i start it and go do somthing else like make dinner since i know it won't be responsive for about 15 minutes.
I've had pretty good luck with compatibility in hardware. Everything worked. Software -- not so much. Games, especially older ones... well, you might want to just turn them into coasters.
this Ultimate version is what I have and really can't see why it was worth the title. the Extras are puny and haven't been updated in a year. nothing really makes it worth buying the more expensive version in my mind.
Even with all that -- if it didn't crash so much it would be a nice OS. I do like it at times, but if you spend any time with Leopard you will be more critical of it's faults.
Hard to recommend it but it's not all bad. Just be prepared for some swearing.
Customer Review: Truly Horrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
I "upgraded" to Vista on my desktop, and spent the next two months trying to fix all the problems it caused. I finally uninstalled it -- no easy task -- and have never loved XP more.
My daughter then got a new laptop with Vista pre-installed. Surely there would be no problems with compatibility -- or so I thought -- and I could finally see what Vista is capable of.
Answer: absolutely nothing.
It is slow. It is unstable. It blocks Facebook and Limewire and many other popular programs. Installations take forever, as the screen goes black, and then Vista asks you if you really want to do what you've just commanded it to do. Norton Systemworks -- the savior of Windows on many occasions -- is incompatible. Graphic quality is poor. The ONLY improvement is you can see a miniature version of open windows by dragging the cursor along the taskbar. Wow!
Do NOT buy this software. Do NOT buy a computer with Vista preinstalled. Stick to XP. Maybe the major update scheduled for mid-March will fix some of these problems -- after forcing us to live with them for only a year or so -- but based on what we've seen so far, the odds are very, very low.
If it were free I wouldn't install Vista. There's absolutely no reason on the world to pay for it...unless you're a PC repairman in need of business.
Customer Review: Bad Vista

Vista is only a bloated piece of software. I recommend you to just stick to XP or upgrade to OS X.Customer Review: Vista is failing me big time!

I got an HP laptop loaded with Vista Ultimate from Amazon. I have problems after problems with this thing. I got 11 automatic updates last night and now my laptop is going nuts.
I should have gotten XP instead.
Customer Review: Even worst than Windows ME (Worst experience ever)
Summary: 1 Stars
I know this is the END for Microsoft. Windows Vista has got to be the WORST OS I have experienced in my life. I bought a new computer from DELL at almost $3000,oo with dual core Intel chip and 4 gigs of RAM and this machine is runs slower than Windows XP and beginning from day 1 I have experienced computer freeze ups and almost once a day I experience a problem. I hate it and can't understand how if this OS is newer and my system is so expensive I am now worse than I was before!!
