Software Reviews of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE [DVD] [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Review of Windows Vista Ultima
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent O.S
"Setbacks" Problems w. registration & use of some of my favorite Win XP. softwares
e.g Nero 6.0; Dragon N.S 8.0 & Pinnacle Studios v.9.0
Customer Review: Everything Crashes
Summary: 1 Stars
I have not found any software that will run reliably on Vista without eventually crashing. Every game crashes. Microsoft Office crashes. Even Internet Explorer and File Explorer crash routinely. You may need to run Windows DVD Maker a dozen times to get it to actually burn a DVD. This on a year old computer that has never had problems running XP and Debian Linux. And yes, it just crashed again killing Never Winter Nights 2. Microsoft has become a sick joke.Customer Review: INSTALL THIS AND VOID YOUR MACHINE'S WARRANTY
Summary: 2 Stars
Be careful before you install this "anytime" upgrade. I installed it on a new Dell that came with Vista Home Premium on it and first of all, besides wiping out all my data files which it said it wouldn't do (I did have backups but still), wiping out drivers such as for the computer's speakers that it came with, it turns out that Dell will not help with ANYTHING because they say that I have voided the one year warranty by upgrading the OS from one version of Vista to another. It's probably in the fine print somewhere but it still seems that a more visible warning should have appeared courtesy of Microsoft OR Dell.Customer Review: Windows XP and even 2000 are better.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased the Vista Ultimate Upgrade disc in April and have had alot of trouble with it since then. I'm still having trouble getting Vista to share my HP printer with the other computers on my home network. Everything on Vista seems to takes about twice as long as it did with XP and three times as long as with Windows 2000. I get this performance with 2GB of ram, a 4.2 mhz intel processor and a 7200 rpm 350 GB hard drive.
I had trouble with my Yahoo Music Jukebox software, Nero 6.6, and several other applications. I running Office 2003 and that has also slowed noticibly. This Thanksgiving weekend I'm uninstalling Vista and reinstalling XP Pro. I'm hoping that when more of the bugs are worked out performance will increase. At that point I'll give Vista another try.
Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I also had problems upgrading from XP to Vista. Microsoft's authentication process said my Vista product ID was invalid which prompted a call to the help line and a lot of time working with a tech trying to figure out what happened. Vista happened.
Customer Review: Do not upgrade!
Summary: 1 Stars
I upgraded to Vista and have had numerous compatibility issues with the previously installed programs and drivers. It's also slower than XP. Not recommended!
