Strengths: Speed, user friendly, backups, media center, very fast start up / shut down, features for business and home, 64 bit capability.
Weaknesses:Had to do some tweaking at first to get it to run correctly, there were some issues with 64 bit software unavailable for some hardware ... now that it is fine tuned, very reliable. Not everyone will want to do the work involved to figure out what is causing the instabilities to fix the problems and make their system stable, I spent several days of being up until 1am with many blue screens of problems to do it. Before fine tuning, was very unstable. This is why only 4 stars ... should not have to tweek so much to get reliable system on a freshly built system with all new "vista compatible" system. Even items that were vista compatible did not always have correct software, some were not compatible with 64 bit version.
Overall Evaluation: Now that we have it all tweeked, we love it, and we do not have any problems with it, very stable. It's a lot of fun and with the 64 bit, I can use all of my installed RAM, it's screamin fast! It was worth all of the tweaking to get here ... but might not be worth the work for some.

Strengths: Speed, reliable, user friendly, easy media, network connectivity, business features, auto back up, X-box 360 connectivity/ media sharing, work and play features, great for gaming, fast start up.
Weaknesses:None that I have found. Upgrade to Vista!
Overall Evaluation: Everything about this new OS is great! The OS sped up my PC (which previously had XP) and had many new features. Vista is much better for work and play then XP and is definately worth the $$$$.

Strengths: The interface looks nice and Vista is easy to use.
Weaknesses:Vista has lots of bugs in it which can be VERY annoying and it runs VERY slow compared to other Windows products.
Overall Evaluation: Windows Vista Ultimate is a great Operating system. Almost anyone can use it, because of it's ease to use and it looks the best (my opinion) compared to all the other Windows products. If you want to upgrade from Windows XP to vista, I wouldn't recommend that because you don't need to waste you money when your XP has everything it needs to run, and Vista is VERY slow compared to XP.

Strengths: Nice graphics + a wonderful interface for your entertainment. Lots of security Plesent to look at.
Weaknesses:Eats up the ram, heavey power user, Hard to customize. Takes a lot of time to get acustom to all the features.
Overall Evaluation: I'm a power user for Games and other apps. Procceses that I can't shut down or suspend causes problems Alot of the security features can be shut down or suspended. Overall I found it fun to tackle and learn to make it compatible to my style of play and work. After useing this program, I went back to Windows XP Pro. I had to have a OS that I could control.
