Please be cautious in purchasing this OS NOT COOL. I cannot boot it up past the password and I took it to an expert, and they said I have to erase the VISTA OS off the computer from scratch and reinstall the OS. I awaiting another OS that is more compatible with an AMD. I bought this pre-installed on a HP AMD computer. I have had it for a year and a half and the entire OS CRASHED recently. The other problem is that I can get safe mode to work (that is how I know it is not a virus,) but I cannot download the patch that could probably fix the simple problem.
I could not use the product. I did not like the windows visa. I wish I never ordered it.
A "cheap""worthless" computer, something you wish you never bought. It is still a great product and I still recommend it most user's especially people who use it with their current computer right now.If are considering buying a new computer and choose Vista, please customize your computer for it to exceed your specific need's. They are there to sell you what they have and make a profit off of it.Computers decrease in Value just like cars and homes. Vista has as many reqirement's as a new Computer game, and you need to exceed all requirement's for it to run the way it should be.NEVER TRY TO MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, doing this will only allow you to use the software and not let it perform the way you want it. Any computer that you see in store's that may be a bargan or look's cheap to buy is probalably living up to be what it is.
Value is kept if you take care of your computer same with anything else.BOTTOM LINE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT HARDWARE FOR YOUR SOFTWARE TO PERFORM THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. Vista only lives up to what it supposed to be only if your computer has all the right hardware to support it.Majority of computers that came with Windows XP should stick with Windows Xp. UPDATE YOUR HARDWARE TO EXCEED ANY MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR YOUR SOFTWARE TO RUN THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO BE RUN.If you are on a budget than you should stick with XP. Salesman are all the same; from selling computer's, car's, house's, etc.
If you like to stay on the cutting edge, get Vista, and stand in awe of its Mac-esque bubbly-ness and ability to do nothing while frying your system resources. If you want a more advanced Vista, make sure you have a gigabyte or two of RAM to spare to actually do anything.Anyways, if you use your computer for internet and simple Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents, don't bother switching to Vista. Windows Vista Basic is worth purchasing for only a few reasons.1) It is inevitable that at some point (though certainly not now), Windows will stop creating service packs for Windows XP.2) Regardless of Vista's RAM-consuming ways, companies have shifted and will continue to shift away from creating software compatible with Windows XP towards software compatible with Windows Vista.3) Vista Basic is, by far, the least RAM-consuming Vista product available. You might be able to run it without using half of your RAM idling. There's no point.
The ones it will run, run at half the screen size. Even programs on your hard drive are pronounced strange and unknown if you dare to try to use them. and then turning the computer off when the program you aren't using turns itself off. It constantly runs programs without asking if you want them or telling you they are running. Even word documents you wrote yourself will not load without permission being given by a supervisor (I forget the exact title they use) even when you are the only one who uses the computer. Vista finds everything strange and suspicious, even other microsoft products. You have to do virus checks et al several times a day even if your computer (like mine) is not connected to the internet. Although it is supposed to be compatable with XP programs, it crashes the computer 1/3 of the time if you try to load one.
