I upgraded from Windows XP expecting problems and having to do a clean installation afterwards, but there were no problems at all. The installation ran smoothly and Vista ran perfectly.
The Windows Update found all the drivers and things I needed to run my peripherals. Every application installed on my PC still works perfectly. I have switched off "User Account Control" because it did prevent me checking email with Outlook and I couldn't be bothered to reinstall it.
I had started to have problems with XP, applications were opening slowly, sometimes I had to shut down the PC by holding down the power button, etc. Now with Vista, all the problems have gone and I am sure the PC is working much faster.
I am delighted.

As the whole internet should know by now, there were a "trend" to bash Vista. It's cyclic. It happened to NT, it happened to XP.
It's all too esoteric, and it's of course a result of esoteric/sentimental reasons rather than honesty. Thank God is dying. I managed to pass that and bought a new laptop which came with Vista Premium, and it's absolutly awesome! It integrates beautifully with the 360, the Media Center is a must! With the new SP1 it now recognizes 4gb, and comes full of nice little features like online shrink/growth of partitions (oh, maybe MS will be fined now because they included this fot their consumers and 3rd party products are no longer needed...).
Anyway, my recomendation, leave the 90's MS bashing where it should ... Read More:

I have personally found 'Tiger' to be the most efficient OS X to date, and therefore a real favourite for a couple of years when I was working in a graphics department. Their is no doubt Leopard is a beautiful upgrade, containing a stated "300+ upgrades", however, it is by no means essential if you Mac is work work purposes. The extra features we've found are not for the productive side of things, but more for consolidating files, making things visually look better, and a few notable new programs.

In short, Leopard would no doubt be a great update for the Media orientated users, but if you're all work and no play, it's actually not that essential. "Snow Leopard" has already been announced for next year anyway, and was stated would improve ... Read More:

I bought the OEM disc to use on my Intel Mac also. The disc worked perfectly with no problems. I simply registered the product online with none of the problems the previous poster mentioned. I think there may be a problem if you attempt a second installation using a program like Parallels of VM Fusion as you are technically trying to register the product for a second time and this causes alarm bells to ring at Microsoft. But if you simply want to install on Bootcamp, this product is highly recommended.

Bought Vista for a new build PC. Being new build I have had no compatabilty problems with any of the components installed. I did need a few updates for some games and software but most of this was done automatically with windows updater. This should be expected with a new operating system. As previous reviews have mentioned about drivers, Vista does not have as large a driver database as you are led to believe. This is for both x32 or x64 bit versions so you may well need updates from manufacturer websites if you are upgrading to Vista on an older PC.

Also note that Vista 32 will not support anyhting above 4Gb of RAM and 3Gb or less is the recommended. With the 64bit edition you can support larger amounts of RAM up to what the mother board will support ... Read More:
