vista user's caution a lot of your hardware is built for vista and xp may not find drivers if you wish to put you OS back to xp.

i agree Jeff sp1 fixes nothing and upon the release of the infamous widows seven we vista user's are a thing of the past so to speak, Like when xp first came out, soon like older versions of windows such as me 98/me/200 will be obsolete

lol windows has gradually upgraded from there basic operating systems 98/Me/2000 are all basic Operating systems, windows Vista was just put out to early but in truth has verry little difference as xp. they integrated the updates into the Operating system changed the look and style of menu's slapped a new name and made millions

NEGATIVE when using free anti virus programs you subject your computer to a limited virus database. this means that there are a certain amount your covered for, another issue is if you run a virus program that only does a scan during operating system being open than harmful viruses can be attached to system files that will not be scanned because they are being used. i recommend Avast Pro, been around for years and has a very effective virus and spy ware database. also one of the few that protects thing like msn or any messenger email web page browsers and also runs planned scans before you OS has even started. as well as runs while the operating system runs. a great program for a low price by the year. also great for vista because it uses very little ram and processor

windows Vista needs a decent amount of knowledge to operate it properly. your cards and other hardware needs to have drivers that support vista, problem is if your card is not new chances are your not going to find a driver for it made in windows vista version i to gave up a three hundred dollar digital cable card because the company was not going to create drivers for it. as for the pop ups asking you to verify permissions it can be turned off so it doesn't ask you any more

windows to say the least have abandoned Vista as the have xp. There are a few reasons for its recent sluggish behavior. For some it may be low ram as vista requires half a gig to run, put more programs running and the system process freeze's. To say the least i have had the worst experience possible. i have two computers and one laptop my oldest computer runs windows xp. NOT A PROBLEM with it at all. in fact i have had it for over three years and no problem except every month there is so called mandatory security updates. what is it there securing NOTHING except there own failure in design. i reloaded my xp and took off auto update there is not one security update on that computer and it runs fast and smooth, been running games and high end graphics on it for a year. My laptop i reloaded it not a day ago, i had to call windows help line to verify that the copy was in fact genuine. i was Pissed needless to say, i have spent well over two thousand dollars on genuine crap and been treated the same. crap. when i first purchased windows vista there was one security up date and my laptop ran alright. Windows seven has been out for a short time now and i count seven security updates, the O.S is maybe a year. my laptop has hardly any programs and the system specs are more than enough to run it, i experience every thing from internet freezing to program crashes. 7 of them. I have anti virus programing as well, this is not the answer. windows a multi billion dollar company, as quick as they came out with windows vista operating system they have abandoned it even quicker. even with the release of of beta version there was noon stop problems. for all of us suckers that pay our hard earned money for this crap switch to apple. i hate apple but hate being used as a guinea pig even more. forget windows seven, you buy it you to will find out in a short while that its the same as vista with style changes and sound changes sure they added a few programs to help users use media and play game etc easier but that was all possible before, even years ago .
Listen to the pc vrs mac commercials some are funny but really true. i know i know its a commercial supporting mac but really, owning and running windows for years. a legit user that purchases and supports a company that won't even give you an disc for reloading any more. i for one am completely sick of of this. Move to mac. i picked up a 1300 dollar mac i know expensive but worth it. this coming from a person who has helped and made a decent living off of fixing other peoples issues with windows pc's of all operating systems.
