This operating system is absolutely fantastic, if you know how to tame it. by which i mean, firstly running on a more up to date computer, and setting it to the way you like it. One feature of Vista which i found to be honest, a pain in the backside is UAC (User Account Control) which prompts the user everytime you try to run an app, for e.g. disk defragmenter, Disk Cleanup, or download a file, copy a file, or even delete one. This is a good idea in theory, becasue it means that if malicious software attempts to run something or change something on your computer, you would have to confirm this, but can get pretty annoying.
I genuinely dont understand where people are having problems, unless simply, you don't know what you are on about, OR your computer isn't fast enough to run it.

I put a new hard drive into my laptop and installed the OEM Vista Premium. Installed fine - much easier than XP but I did have an initial battle with drivers. I had the original driver disc which I tried to use for the computer but Vista was having non of it and going on line was a non starter via the wireless as this was one of the drivers that was unloadable. Fortunately when I used a cable, Vista did an auto update and all of the missing drivers were installed via Microsoft's own website. They went in seamlessly and my laptop works better than before. So a slight scare followed by a good auto support system. Using Vista hasn't changed my life - does the same things as XP but with a new shiny look. The one big difference is the speed of starting and shutting down - fast, fast, fast. As regards security, well I didn't have an issue with XP as I kept the usual safeguards in place so I have no doubt that the same thing will have to be done with Vista. So overall for 70 quid a reasonable upgrade, but I wouldn't spend the 150 quid that the non OEM would cost.

When XP Home was introduced, it was a significant improvement over Win98 and the awful WinME. Win XP pro was, well, much like Win2000 but with prettier graphics. Anyway XP as a whole was a good thing. Try as I might I can't say the same about Vista. The new visual "look" to Vista is awful (to my eyes at least) and all the visual toys nothing more than eye candy. The layout changes to menus etc also just make it awkward to use for seasoned Windows users. With all the superficial changes it doesn't actually do much that is new - it just makes doing the same old stuff awkward and involves alot of re-training of PC users, especially in the workplace. To add insult to injury, there are alot of software compatibility issues too.
There is one good thing about Vista. As an IT support guy. I keep busy wiping Vista off new machines and installing XP. Please don't pull the plug on OEM XP to soon Mr Gates.....
