Default Vista ... Do You have it
I have Vista and i have not experience any problems with it and i have been using my computer 24/7 since the end of April/early may and i can only conclude that it is miles better than XP

i was just wondering if the people that say it is the worst version ever have vista

i think it is definitely worth get

and i think there is some conspiracy going on i blame Apple

Don't get it yet, big mistake. It's full of crap at the moment. Wait until service pack one or two comes out.

I agree with Matthew. With Microsoft's track record, it's very bold to install their new operating system without waiting for any of the service packs. Remember, due to Microsofts omnipresence, every clever hacker in the world is currently trying to break Vista. Something tells me they’ll do it.

I don't on my computer and I'm not sure it'll be upgraded just yet, although it is on my laptop. That's because I bought it recently though and Vista came with it. I quite like it as well - it's just as straightforward to use.

Maybe, but the countless errors don't make up for that. In it's current state it's awful value for money.

I've had it since the day it was released and am so far pretty happy. A service pack would be nice though yeah.

Desk top XP (This one is from 2002 and probably would not handle it - the fan goes crazy if you try and view anything on YouTube)

Laptop came preinstalled with Vista Home Basic.

I don't know what to think about it. The overall think is good but so far, so much people had problems with Vista so I'm going to wait a little bit more.

I can't really see the point in upgrading any of the old windows machines to Vista, it's not worth it. They all work well with windows XP and it would just slow them down and cost me money for the upgrades.

I could have got it for free, as the package came with my laptop, but I didn't send off for it. It seems to complicated for me, I'm happy with my Windows XP.

Trying ?


Cracked copies were available the week before launch day - if you knew were to look.

No I won't be installing vista because of its DRM shackles, making even editing your own videos or ripping your own cd's, or converting your own music files a pain.

Looks like I'll be sticking with XP 'til it becomes open source, and then is made properly secure, just like W98 when that went open source, the bug fixes and mods that were made by the online community made it more secure and manageable than Microsoft ever did.

I just got OS X Leopard, beats any Microsoft operating system any day (so do all Macs). Then again, I've used Macs my whole llife so I have some bias.
