"More "Flash" but not nearly as refined as XP."

It is infuriating to have a great printer (Lexmark C524dtn) with duplex capability and not be able to duplex under Vista but have to go to an XP machine to do the duplex printing. This is a driver issue that should have been ironed out before Vista's

"No complaints so far"

I upgraded the HP DV6000t laptop to Windows Vista Business about a month ago. So far I have not any major issues. Somethings to keep in mind: a) When installing Vista, the user account you first create is an administrative account. It is advisable to

"WoW this is awful"

Vista Business edition is missing hardware drivers and many functions common to XP users. Many of my games and applications will not run and worse cannot be uninstalled properly afterward. Trying to find a file you don't know the name of becomes an e

"For some reason the GUI appeals to me"

I like the fact that the clunky XP Pro GUI has been replaced with a clean, edgy GUI which makes Vista a lot of fun to use. I had some minor installation which I was able to figure out pretty easily. All in all a pretty good product. In my opinion

"The wow starts now!??"

We purchased 2 Dell Inspiron 6400 laptops with 2gb of RAM for our new employees. The system seems to launch the same as XP. There's this time lapse between startup screens thats somewhat odd. Upon startup you have your usual slew of taskbar items
