Summary: Windows Vista SP1 - A Program that can drive a Person to the Point of Insanity
Comment: After purchasing Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate 1 1/2 years ago, I waited month after month for the so-called Windows Vista SP1 version to "automatically" update itself. According to Microsoft this is the best, safest and most recommended way to UPDATE to SP1.
MISSION FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED!
Now, to my DISBELIEF, I can NO LONGER open two Excel files in their own separate Windows, in order to work on both files at the same time. I spent hours trying to find and understand how to go about solving this problem. I found a few simple solutions to solve this problem and NONE OF THEM WORKED! After 8 agonizing hours I finally figured out how to solve this problem. I can hardly wait to see wait lies ahead.
This is what I HATE about Windows Vista most. It's a program that drives people like me to the point of insanity because NOTHING IS EVER SIMPLE when it should and could be. In the old days we would simply open 2 windows and be done with it; problems back then could be solved by intuitive commonsense. I Thank God everyday that the light switches in my home aren't made by the Windows Vista people.

Summary: Great OS, but not good uprade
Comment: Windows Vista is great operating system because it is more stable than xp and has some great new features. My parents always had xp and it was good, but then I needed a new computer for school I had to get a certain laptop and it came with vista.
Pros: Great user interface, more stability, windows sidebar, it is more secure, and supports more programs. Also vista has a new search bar that makes finding a file easier and vista has pretty much everything great about xp in it.
Cons: If you had a single core cpu at 2ghz on xp you'll have to get a 2gb core 2 duo to get about the same performace. Some old programs don't work with vista (usally 95 and 98). Not a whole lot new features to make you want to upgrade your whole computer.
If you are getting a new computer with good specs choose vista, but if you're just upgrading then just stay with xp. Overall Vista is a great os.
P.S Don't listen to all the crap about how it is really buggy and stuff like that because it's not.

Summary: To be looked at...that's how useless it is
Comment: Microsoft forces it down people's throats by trying to stop XP support & coercing comp manufacturers into exclusively offering Vista, but now they're trying to change their tone. Don't buy Mojave ads and don't buy Vista.
Vista is obsessed with looks. Unfortunately the resource-hog features like Aero (semi-transparent borders? really?) don't help productivity. And after the first 5 seconds of use, you really don't notice the fluff anymore.
What you do notice beyond the first 5 seconds is the sluggishness, even with the fluff turned off. Opening the control panel takes 15 seconds. Accessing a folder's list with a large number of files is agonizingly slow (and didn't Vista start as Longhorn, a faster file-accessing goal?)
Features were also ripped out and tripped over. The picture editor, which I enjoyed toying with, is now bare-bones, stripped of the cool little editing tools. The media center doesn't even have a progress bar to skip through (not to mention it plays DVDs with an awful horizontal misalignment / lag). And surprise...navigating it is slower!
Windows Defender, the spyware & unwanted program monitor is turned off by default, supposedly to avoid further antitrust problems for Microsoft (but isn't Vista's tech pitch that it's more secure?!). So you'll need to dig through and turn it on.
It seems as if Microsoft set a date to make money, failed at their initial goal of writing a new file management architecture, and pieced together a last-minute cosmetic skin to meet that deadline. Maybe it could be a fantastic OS. Maybe it already is, and just falls short of my last one. Maybe MS just completely screwed the pooch on their business strategy and customer goodwill. Til they provide free XP to existing Vista users to allow side-by-side comparison, I can't stomach the Mojave advertisements of "surprise...it's Vista!"
