2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a worthwhile upgrade,

This review is from: Windows Vista, Home Premium Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
A few months ago I bought a new laptop which came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I've now had the opportunity to compare Vista to my desktop PC's XP installation. In summary Vista doesn't make a compelling upgrade. Memory usage is considerably higher, the default User Account Control setup is so overbearing that I disabled it completely and from the perspective of the end user the new features seem to be mostly related to visual tarting up and transparency effects. These new features add nothing much to productivity. The frequency and volume of critical security patches to apply seems to continue as with XP. There are some useful features but most of these can be added to XP by using existing free applications. Not a worthwhile upgrade.

The product is OK. However it came with the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 7 which so far hasn't worked - all sorts of hassle with the promotional codes. I wish I had had the time to go to PCworld to get the same offer.

This review is from: Windows Vista, Home Premium Edition with Service Pack 1 (PC) (DVD-ROM)
Got Vista as I need to use Microsoft Access on my Macbook. Installed it via bootcamp no problems, I was amazed how quick it was to install. Vista is fine I've had no problems, I use OS X most of the time but it's good to have windows for the few things I need it for, the best of both worlds. If you're looking for windows for you mac, go for this. Good value at £80 when on offer, it's now gone back up.
