I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for nearly two years. Initially I used it on a "Windows Vista Capable" machine, and with all the UI effects turned on it ran like a dog. I remember the same thing in 2001 when I ran Windows XP on a 233 MHz machine with 64 MB RAM (the minimum spec for XP). I have since used Vista on my other two newer machines, each of which exceed the recommended spec, and I have been rewarded with new stability and security, along with an enhanced multimedia experience. ...

Right, where to start!
So you're thinking about getting Vista and don't want to pay the full amount for the retail version? This OEM edition is ideal then; it is the same as the retail version without the packaging. The only restriction is that once installed, the software has to stay with that motherboard. So effectively, if your motherboard dies, so does your copy of Vista. But don't see that as a negative, Vista dying on you will mean you have to revert back to your XP copy, which is good news! ...

In addition to the horror stories I've heard and read about Vista, I'd also read that the Home Basic edition is basically like XP and therefore not worth getting. Though Vista may have been dis-functional in 2007, the 2008 edition of Home Basic with Service Pack 1 is anything but XP! Installation was painless and despite my motherboard manufacturer not offering Vista compatible drivers, Windows Update made easy work of finding current VGA, Network & Audio drivers to run my Motherboard under XP. I've had ...

Recently used this, actually got Home Premium x64 but decided to try Ultimate. I have found that most drivers or devices will work better if you disable UAC. I have found UAC (User Account Control - if you don't know - is the thing that pops up asking you for confirmation every five seconds - people complain but don't realise you can switch it off in Control Panel, which makes a vista experience a more pleasurable one. Also used with 4GB of RAM is a pretty amazing OS.
At the end of the day you ...

I bought this version of windows when I bought my new computer (Nov 07). I decided to get the 64 bit edition so that I could use more than 3.5GB RAM and the extra functionality out of the cpu. It loaded up easily. The problem began when I tried to put devices into it. 64 bit edition only works with microsoft signed drivers. I was unable to use my modem and memory sticks. I got so annoyed with this I downgraded to XP Pro.
Only buy this version if you don't want to use any unsigned driver components.
