Summary: now i get it
Comment: My XP HP battleship finally could sail no more.. never gave Vista any thought actually..a few days ago the inevitable happened... plus the usb ports were becoming sloppy, white screen, but when it was good it was very good.. cut to the chase... From what i gather, buying Vista is a pant load different then purchasing a new computer. I am still amazed... my old XP would recycle sometimes, didn't like rollup 3, never thought I could use my extra's lke printer with Vista/new machine, the thing feches a program and my old close and play printer (all in one) is like new in doing its thing, same with "fixing" other programs, it just about apologizes for the trouble.. I don't know if the powers to be will post this but a new machine and Vista is a smooth experience... most of the reviews that I have read concerning upgrading an XP when i was thinking about bringing my old machine to the doctor seem like its a pain so I just bit the bullet and purchased an HP a6650f for not much over $700.00.. QUAD CORE AMD phenom.. I have read reviews that even with a new machine the reviewer would rather have XP... I don't know what to make of it, maybe its because my HP was ancient at 4 years old, one bummer is that I have read the Roxio's PhotoSuite 8 won't work with Vista snd they have not provided a fix.. You can put lipstick on an XP machine but its still an XP machine. Some have said its slowed down by bloated extra's.. its not very difficult to delete the stuff, geesh. Vista is smooth, if you are one of the lucky ones who can experience what I have with a new Vista program, I wouldn't say it is like going from a Hundyie to Porche, but its more like going from a Buick to a Cadillac, 5 stars witha new machine

Summary: Was expecting horrors but am pleasantly surprised
Comment: Since so many of my clients have PC's that come with Vista, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and learn more about it.
I have a fairly powerful PC and decided to go against everything people had recommended and to upgrade over XP rather than do a clean install. I had my XP drive ghosted and figured the worst that would happen is I'd have to go back and try again.
The upgrade was as smooth as silk. When it was complete, I had to download new video drivers from Nvidia, but they installed properly the first time and I've had no problems with them.
So far, none of my applications or games has complained about Vista. I'm mainly running Adobe CS3 and Office 2007. A few games have had minor issues, but I've been able to tweak them and get things working.
For someone like me who does a lot of file copying and manipulation, the new Explorer is 1,000 times better than the old ones. There is much less confusion when copying files as to what will happen when the same files already exist, and it is much easier to view photos, view audio files, etc.
I really like the Aero interface. It looks slick and it's easy to move between Windows.
In short, while Vista may just be "warmed over XP" under the hood, I've been pleasantly surprised.

Summary: Microsoft Office 2007
Comment: Great product as always. Good value for money. The only negative is the blue background option has been removed, but if you're happy working with a white screen, this won't bother you. Otherwise, a worthwhile upgrade.

Summary: Vista upgrade
Comment: Upgraded from Home to Ultimate. Only issue is that in order to install the upgrade, I had to upgrade the Home version to SP1 which seems kind of redundant.

Summary: GOOD SOFTWARE!!!
Comment: I HAVE RECENTLY BEGUN TO USE THE SOFTWARE . IT IS ALRIGHT VERY NICE AND HIGH TECH. WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT IS MY MEMORY. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO BUY EXTERNAL MEMORY. OTHERWISE THIS SOFTWARE SEEMS TO BE DOING WHAT IT PROMISED.
THANK YOUWindows Vista Ultimate with SP1 Upgrade
