Where To Buy Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION]

Over All Rating Reviews :

This windows version is about as worthless as ME was. It came installed on my new computer and from day one was a problem. It isn't compatible with a large majority of hardware or software. It uses an enormous amount of system resources. I'm not a computer tech, but normally I can make a computer do what ever it is I'm wanting it to do, but with Vista I have run into nothing but problems and if you contact a computer tech with a problem and you tell them your operating system is Vista they automatically say variations of "that's the problem" and half the time they can't offer anything helpful because of the way Vista is set up to run. Do Not purchase!! If it comes installed on a computer you are purchasing invest in either a copy of Windows XP or an upgrade to Windows 7 at the time that you purchase the computer and save yourself a lot of frustration.

I now have several experiences with this new OS on a number of platforms and can offer a bit of advice/experience from the perspective of someone often asked by friends and family to work on their computers. I generally prefer to build my own systems from parts. However, most of my experience below is on machines that were purchases - 2 HP systems and a Lenovo laptop. I'm still choosing XP when I can.

1. Don't assume things will work in Vista like XP. Driver incompatibility, and differences will slow you down -- budget mucho time to resolve these issues. For example, many cite driver and device incompatibilities, some virus and spyware programs work, and some don't. The mature members in my family use Juno over dial-up. Forget this in a web client -- dialup is way too slow. The Juno remote client that downloads email for off-line reading in XP doesn't work in Vista. Supposedly, one can configure Windows Mail to do this (Outlook is gone). However, I haven't had an opportunity to try it. I usually suggest taking them back to XP since the look and feel will be similar to what they've had on their Win 98 systems.

2. No matter how hot your box, Vista is slow to start and shut down. I recently worked on a Vista box having a Pentium quad core processor and 3 GB of ram. The system takes several minutes to start and shut down. Vista loads about 2x more resident processes than XP. On the same hardware that translates to about 2x as long for Vista v. XP.

3. Make the restore disks! My daughter's Lenova laptop running Vista stopped booting up. Lenovo service is pretty helpful (Cheers to them in NC)and we had no hardware errors- just a corrupted drive that had to be re-imaged because the onboard restore files were also corrupted. If we had made the restore disks when we first got the laptop, we could have fixed it ourselves from the backup. When you make them, the first disk has to be a CD, then the others should be DVDs or you'll have a huge number of restore disks. Its better to do this when you first get the computer. This is different from XP where I had the disks in hand (ie you don't have to create them).

Summing Up

Vista has a nice look and feel to it. I can navigate it OK from my XP experience, and we prob. will all have to live with it at some point. Understand that its slower than XP to start and shut down, and it may not be the best choice for everyone (esp mature users, those that are challenged). Budget lots of time to work out the incompatibilities and make the backup/resote disks asap!.

Best wishes!

I paid $199 for this product , which is being sold at Best Buy,
Circut City for 50-75 dollars less.
The product has many flaws and leaves people like me with a problem.

I know you offered refund my money, however I would than be left with
no operating system, since the other is now deleted .
I am sure this is one of many complaints. It would appear to me
that MicroSoft should reimburse Amazon for this inferior product.

Windows Vista is horrible software. It should not even be called "Windows" because it is not based on Windows XP or 2000! While its graphical interface looks like XP's, Vista uses a different file system.

SO, NO SOFTWARE THAT WAS COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP OR WINDOWS 2000 WILL WORK WITH VISTA.

Not only that, but Microsoft chose graphics over functionality: Vista uses 500MB of memory just by itself. After adding Anti-Virus and other software, your computer's performance will grind to a halt.

Vista finds everything strange and suspicious, even other microsoft products. 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. You have to do virus checks et al several times a day even if your computer (like mine) is not connected to the internet. It constantly runs programs without asking if you want them or telling you they are running. and then turning the computer off when the program you aren't using turns itself off. 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. 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.

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 . 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. NOT COOL! 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 awaiting another OS that is more compatible with an AMD. Please be cautious in purchasing this OS

Windows Vista Third Party Hardware/Software Incompatibility

Anybody who is thinking about getting a new computer or has recently bought one will know that there seems to be only one option available: Windows Vista. I have never used a Mac before so I decided to stick with Windows when I was ready to buy a new computer and upgraded from my five year old Toshiba Satellite (Windows XP) to a fancy looking HP Pavilion Desktop with a 19'' wide screen LCD monitor. While the computer is Great and comes with a lot of great features such as 250GB local drive, small and stylish tower, very fast speed for multitasking, wireless capability, and great DVD writer; it also comes with Windows Vista Home Premium (I assume they call these different names just to make one look fancier than the other just like with XP and in the end everybody ended up with Service Pack II).

Even though I love the new HP Desktop (Slimline is the model by the way), why oh why Windows Vista? XP has corrected many of its glitches over the last several years and Service Pack II was becoming tolerable after years and years of Windows updating and error reporting (you have done this many times). Now XP CDs are on sales for less than a hundred bucks and Microsoft will start telling people to upgrade to Vista if there are problems.

Here are some practical issues that you might want to know before getting a new computer which will undoubtedly come with Windows Vista.

1)Wireless adapter recognizes my wireless signal, but no way on earth it will let me connect to the Internet. I tried repairing the network (fancily called “Network Diagnostic” on Vista) got the message saying my adapter has an unknown problem and the reason for my not being able to connect to the Internet is “unknown.” OK, don't tell me to contact my network administrator anymore. All the help offered on Microsoft and HP websites told me to do that. Did they think they actually had to tell me to contact “the person who manages my network?” Of course the first thing I did was call him and make an appointment. The problem is that the HP computer is new (just been in the store for one day when I bought it), and the Vista is new. Nobody on the 1 800 helpline number knew the problem. My Internet guy had a hard time working around the Vista just like I did. He tried everything and my computer still won't connect to the wireless Internet. Obviously he is not someone inexperienced. He provides Internet service to an apartment town with more than 500 apartment units and they are all connected because they haven't switched from Windows XP to Vista. The reason for my switching is my Toshiba Satellite was getting too old and slow. You know the feeling. I just wanted a new computer and I could care less about Windows Vista. Now back to the wireless Internet problem, I am still not connected to it. Thanks to the alternative service that my Internet service provides, the wired local area net work in which Internet is provided through power line. Sounds weird but here we want to avoid having to have a phone line just to connect to the Internet. So I am using my power line Internet and sitting here and hoping my Internet guy will figure out the problem. The wireless one he offers is a lot faster to download videos but the power line is fast enough for surfing the net.
2)If you are a gadget junkie like me, you will find that Vista is not compatible with many of your not so old gadgets. For example, I have a Skype cordless phone made by Linksys and it worked fine with XP, now when I installed the driver on my new computer, I got a message saying it is not compatible with this Windows.
3)Although I followed everything suggested by Apple website to transfer my music to the new computer in order to also transfer how the library is organized (play list, play count, rating, etc), but it didn't work. Only the files and folders were copied to my new computer, not how they were organized in the iTunes library. I had to to redo the whole play lists and grouping music on the new computer. We are talking about over 3000 files!
4)Yahoo Messenger Music: If you use LAUNCHcast Radio by Yahoo, you will know what I am talking about. This feature allows you to add the radio as a plug-in on your Yahoo Messenger. From the small screen on the Messenger, you can access your radio station, or other stations by clicking on the little link “Stations.” A drop menu shows up and a list of radio stations will appear, allowing users to choose what station they want to listen to. Well, drop down menu is there all right, but I cannot click on any of them. Only way I can change a station is by opening the Yahoo Jukebox Program itself and choose a station there, play the station I want to play there, and open the Yahoo Messenger, the station I have just played on Yahoo Jukebox will be listed on three of the recently played stations on my Yahoo Music LAUNCHcast plug-in on my Yahoo Messenger.
5)I tried to change my iTunes skin, but none of the plug-ins that allow skin change are compatible with Vista yet.

As usual, Microsoft rushed its newest operating system out of the factory door much too soon. It is filled with errors and shortcomings, and the unfortunate consumer once again will have to suffer for years while discovering what the arrogant Microsoft corporation failed to get right in the process of inflicting another faulty product on the general public.

I'm sure there are more problems and I will report them as they come my way.
