Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION] Review

Amazingly slow
I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit version patiently for several months now. The "performance indicator" says my Windows Vista experience is a 5.6 out of a possible 5.9 -- this is supposed to be some indication of how fast my hardware is. So, my hardware is top notch -- brand new HP quad core Phenom 2.4 GHz processors with 8GB of RAM. As soon as I boot, I notice the OS is using 1.5GB of RAM, before I touch anything. If I leave Internet Explorer open, it has a memory leak that gets progressively worse and completely overtakes the system within a few hours. My patience has run out. I'm reverting back to Windows XP, or at least installing a dual boot configuration, because this machine is just silly slow. I have brand new, top-of-the-line 64-bit hardware and a crazy amount of RAM; and this machine feels slow. I'm amazed at how inferior of a product this is.

Window Vista Home Premuin Software
Seller shipped in a reasonable length of time. Packaging was as advertised, sealed as stated and was new Old Version. Unfortunately was not able to load on my pc because to many upgrades needed to be made for everything to work. Otherwise I have no problem, would buy from this seller again.

DON'T BUY VISTA!!!!
Unless you want to buy a whole knew bunch of peripherials don't buy Windows Vista. My wife recently needed to buy a new computer so we bought a new Dell with Windows Vista. The salesman said that Vista was the way to go.
I get the thing home and my printer does not work (a recent HP laserjet) and my digital camera is also NOT SUPPORTED!!!
If you are going to have anything to do with Windows Vista you should make sure that any devices you own (or may possibly will own) are supported...not likely. WINDOWS VISTA SUCKS!!!

Good and stable but not fully compatible
I got this with my dell. I love it. I have read alot of reviews about how it is a bloated programme and how so many others are better but i honestly love this OS. I need not go into how nice the interface looks for i am sure alot of persons have done that for me. With Service Pack 1 and my regular updates i have not noticed any problems stability-wise. I have even read reviews that show that with SP1 its performance is now comparable to the hugely successfull predecessor XP with SP2.
I was very disappointed with the fact that i could not use certain programmes with it...noteably ArcView 3.x and ArcGIS 9.0 . All other compatable issues i had were eventually solved by driver updates from the device or software manufacturers.
I love it.

Windows Vista
Ok, so first of all, i have no idea why people are so pissed at this software, u may call me lucky, but windows vista runs perfect on my computer with just about no faults, now or ever (and my computer (custom) is kind of out dated: AMD Athlon 64 3200, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, 2Gb of memory...), plus i literally have the very first version of home premium, i pre ordered it.
I REALLY like the interface, and all games play a lot (a lot!) better than on Xp (i do hard core gaming between crysis (also wrote a review), counter strike, Day of Defeat, CS:s, and Flight simulator x). The only thing thats actually really slow on vista is MS office, but thats also slow on Xp, and on my MacBook. As for the security pop up screen, the first week or so its annoying but then u dont even notice, or even care about it. Windows also does all the tasks that u had to do manually be fore automatically, for example drivers it downloads automatically, and it has a very very easy wireless set up (first it downloads the drive (automatically!), and then u just click on what wireless network to join.
Also my friend has a $500 laptop and WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE runs on it amazingly fast, and he too likes it (he upgraded from Xp) more than the update
now after using windows vista, Xp seems really outdated, hard to use, and just plain bad (horrible interface!).
i love this product and strongly advise you to buy it (except for ppl w/ really bad and really outdated computers)
Btw, im currently building a new computer (just about done!!! ive ordered half from Amazon, half from newegg) and when ive used Vista long enough one the new computer, i will update my review
