This is a terrible product,
By
This review is from: Windows Vista, Business Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
I bought a well spec'd, Sony laptop with this version of Windows on it. It has always been unresponsive, hangs all the time and takes an age to boot up.
I am an I.T. professional, so I understand the need to maintain the computer, keep it free of viruses etc., and I have used Windows since Windows 95; it is as bad as Windows ME. It is very, very frustrating, and when I need to use my laptop for work, productivity is effected, and the stress it caused by the frustration doesn't help. I don't know any other industry that would accept such an overpriced, flawed product. Avoid.

Dodgy Software for sale,

Like most people who use Amazon, I expect a high standard of service and quality goods to be available for purchase. Similarly I expect Amazon to have veted any marketplace sellers but having made a purchase which has, quite obviously, turned out to be pirate software I'm fairly dissatisfied with Amazon.
This is the seconf problem that I have had with marketplace sellers in recent months and I will not be using this section of Amazon again.

Unusable,
By Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista, Business Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
I recently bought a Dell quad-core workstation, which had Windows Vista Business pre-installed. Apart from Internet Explorer, no program requiring internet access is working, including Opera, Firefox, CuteFTP, and Skype (all of which were working fine under Windows XP). I re-installed Windows Vista multiple times from the recovery DVD that came with the workstation, but it did not fix the problems. After about a month and 30 hours of wasted time, I upgraded to the Ultimate edition. Now everything is working fine, but my experience with Windows Vista Business has been very frustrating, time consuming, and expensive.

Use Vista at Home; I'd Rather Have A Root Canal Without Pain Medicine.,
By THE AUTISTIC WEREWOLF "Wolf D." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista, Business Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
If it were possible to give Vista a negative rating I would do so. Vista is unlike every other Microsoft Operating System ever produced. Every new Microsoft Operating System came with its annoying little bugs. Those of us who liked Microsoft Windows myself among them usually got used to living with the MS bugs or "Features" as they are called by the company.
Vista was inflicted on PC users because somewhere Microsoft got the notion that a more complex difficult to use memory hogging buggy wizard filled operating system was more secure thus much better. Vista is indeed far more secure than any earlier Microsoft product for one basic reason it never lets you do anything. You can not be productive on Vista unless you jump through more operating system generated hoops than you will ever see during a lifetime at the circus. Don't get me wrong. I am not one of these geeky guys that wants everyone to switch to Linux or Apple. I love my Microsoft Windows XP PC but, Microsoft Vista is a gigantic LEMMON no amount of Service Pack tweaking will ever fix. I have XP systems and I will be keeping my XP computer. If I buy a new computer with Pretty but way lame Vista pre-installed I will reformat my disk and install my trusty capable XP operating system workhorse. To say Vista is super slow at start up, during regular use and at shut down is an understatement in its most profound incarnation. If you buy a system with so much memory, new graphics, sound and other high priced, hogh powered hardware producing a system that costs a kings ransom Vista will speed up a little. Vista is a money hog because many old XP devices do not work on Vista at all and others need lots of tweeking to get them to work. Now Vista is so improved it will never crash, naw Vista just freezes up so completely you can not do anything productive. Vista will make you more productive because all its freeze up's will have you doing the same work again and again and again and again hoping it won't freeze before you can save it! Finally Vista is a big useless paranoid fat nag. I mean at every turn Vista wants to reformat, check or otherwise make sure something you are doing is allowed. Vista is the Fort Knox of Operating Systems but think about it who wants to live and work in Fort Knox. Vista is an operating system as such it is an extention of your home or business. Adding Vista to your computer is like stationing thousands of nagging police officers whose job it is to challenge your every move every time you become even the least bit productive. Vista is an operating system with so many paranoid subsystems built in that it is effectively useless for its intended productive purpose. For all the reasons I list herein I would strongly advise against purchasing Vista. I feel Vista is the prettiest operating system Microsoft has ever produced. Unfortunately under that pretty VISTA surface is a code filled of maggots that grow into extremely pretty productivity killing computer bugs. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Finally drove me into the arms of Apple,
By J. Nelson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Windows Vista, Business Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
What a nightmare. If you've read the other reviews here, you probably already know how annoying Vista's access control messages are, and how it was incompatible with nearly everything, so I won't spend time railing about that. The one issue that I could not solve, or forgive, was one of the most fundamental issues for an operating system: file handling.
Vista didn't like copying files across a network. In fact, Vista took personal umbrage at being asked to transfer files across a network, and passive-agressively reduced the transfer rate down until it could be measured in bits per minute, instead of kB per second. I soon came to personify Vista as one of those toad-like elderly women behind the counter at the DMV who take perverse delight in watching people's impatience boil into homicidal rage. The kind of person/operating system that will let you get to almost the front of a two-hour line/95% complete file transfer and then wordlessly put up a "Next Window" sign/"File I/O error" message with just the hint of a malicious grin. The kind of person/operating system that justifies the "No Firearms in the DMV"/"Don't keep a hammer near your laptop with Vista installed on it" rule. The problem wasn't just limited to network file copies, either. Copying photos from a USB flash drive to the hard drive took so long that I could have recreated them in MS Paint, pixel by pixel, more quickly and with less frustration. Where else but in Vista will you see a dialog box with the words "0.2 of 4 Mb copied, 240 hours remaining"? My experience with Vista was so abominable that I swore never to give Microsoft another dime of my business, walked to the Apple store, and plunked down way to much money for a Macbook Pro. OSX has its issues, some of them serious, but OSX makes Vista look like Microsoft literally implemented the "1,000,000 monkeys with 1,000,000 copies of C++ will probably turn out a well-made operating system" rule, but decided to save money by giving about 200 monkeys 3 computers and one copy of Q-BASIC. |
