Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Full Product)
User Reviews for Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (Full Product)

Reviewed by: axhandlebill
Duration of ownership: 2 Months
Strengths: if you like or love what you have, dont leave it. vista is just one big cover up of XP, I wish I had never bought this.
Weaknesses: You have to go around your elbo to get to your thumb.
Overall Evaluation: If Microwave would use normal people to help design programs they wouldnt have so many dead end streets. the system acts mushy, and slow about everything, go to the defrag program, you cant use the msconfig in the run application.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Solid enhancement to the XP platform.
Weaknesses: Overzealous needs to request change confirmations, media rights management, and some driver incompatibility.
Overall Evaluation: We have used Vista before, as installed on Dell made computers, but this was the first time we actually installed it from scratch on a home made computer. The process was easier and quicker than expected; seemed easier to me than clean installs of other Windows versions. An overall great upgrade, but I hate how it handles media rights management (requiring some validation software to reinstall frequently needing computer restart); I also did not like finding my Dell A940 printer relegated to incompatibility.
