Software Reviews of Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1
Summary: 5 Stars
Vista is far the best operating system MS has put on the market. I have used all of them since the first issue and I am really happy I have migrated to Vista Ultimate.
With kind regards,
Branko
Customer Review: Enjoyable, with buggy character

Along the same tune of many others, Vista Ultimate has its perks, but hardly makes for a compelling reason to upgrade from XP.
I switched from XP to this version of Vista a few weeks back and am still in the process of acclimation. Although Aero is very nice and pretty, it clearly comes at a price as this system does run slower with this OS.
Also, I had a ton of programs that worked fine on XP, including a mouse gesture program I lived with on my old system, that are useless on Vista - they just don't work. On top, as has been stated to death, Vista prompts you for agreement every time you want to download or update pretty much anything.
Another annoyance, if the computer happens to go to sleep, it'll take close to 30 seconds to go back to normal, as I have to wait for the computer to register my keyboard strokes and reconnect to the internet. This is pretty annoying, and coming from a brand new Dell system by the way.
Lastly, not sure Ultimate is worth the extra dollars, unless you're on a laptop and need the encryption feature, or don't already use some other programs to remote access your system or backup the disk image, which at my office we already did before Vista. I'd suggest considering one of the other cheaper versions, which for most consumers is likely to suffice.
Customer Review: Good product, but not without flaws.
Summary: 4 Stars
As has been reported by many other reviewers, there are significant problems with Vista. Yet despite its flaws, it is a great user friendly product, which explains in large part its continued dominance as the desktop operating system.Customer Review: The main advantage over Home Premium is...

File encryption. This version has file encryption. If that is something you need for your business, then this would be the edition you are looking for. This version, as it's name says, has everything. If you do not want the media center, or other items, I would say, look at other versions first.Customer Review: Not as Universal as XP

I have been a windows user since the original 95 and have upgraded my machines according every time the new operating systems come along. Some have been great and some have been downright horrible (Window's ME anyone?).
Vista lies somewhere in the middle. For those trying to convert from mac to PC it might be a good ideas, as it borrows heavily from the Macintosh OX model. But those of us used to generic windows will find that it takes a lot of time to get to know VISTA, and still things remain complicated.
But once you get used to VISTA there are a lot of perks, such as easier searching mechanisms, a new clock system, and the invent of widgets. But on the same token it takes a lot more RAM, and might not be the best choice for machines with less than 2gz of ram.
