2.0 out of 5 stars Not a worthwhile upgrade, 12 Nov 2008
By Mr. RJ WILMSHURST "rjwilmsi" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal if you need windows on your Mac., 23 May 2008
By C. Steadman (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the wait for service pack 1, 3 Jun 2008
By Allan Hildon (Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After following the forums for most of the year and reading endless stories of doom and woe about upgrading to Vista I decided it was time to take the plunge and upgrade my humble Dell Inspiron 6000 now that the SP1 version has been released. I checked out the Dell website and downloaded all the drivers that the Dell upgrade advisor said I would need, and backed up all my files in preparation for a long night of nail biting and hair pulling (if you have ever done a fresh reinstall of XP you will know exactly what I mean!). I also installed 2 gig of RAM (oo-ah that cost peanuts). As all the forums state very clearly, the upgrade package is only an upgrade from a lower version of Vista, so I knew the installation would be a fresh install. So, I inserted the disk, answered the usual questions about proceeding, and waited around 30 minutes for the entire installation just agreeing with all the recommended options. What happened next was something of an anticlimax - Vista started and my machine was ready to use. Despite all the dire warnings from the upgrade advisor about all the hardware and applications that might not work everything except the sound card did, and that worked after the wizard searched the www for the correct driver and miraculously found it - that's a first! My verdict - full marks to Microsoft on a fab product that was absolute simplicity to install. Now my 2 year old laptop has a new lease on life.
