"Don't even think about it."
I just bought a new H-P because Dell had irritated me so much with their lousy customer support service, which I think is now based in Outer Mongolia. It came with Windows Vista Home Premium preloaded, and I soon found that I couldn't do what I rea
PROS: None. Not a single thing in it is an improvement over Windows Pro, or even Media Center Edition.
CONS: Doesn't recognize legacy hardware or software; time-consuming installation; no control over how it handles installations; in short, the worst mistake Microsoft has ever made.

I cannot simoultaneously run 3 apps on vista without a crash. Today It froze as I tried to install an MS web cam while I logged on to MSN messenger. If given a choice, stay with XP SP2.
PROS: looks pretty
CONS: freezes consistantly, too secure

"A Great Windows OS"
Once I had opened the package that had contained my Windows Home Basic Laptop, I was very very happy about how well Microsoft had made their new OS. The first thing I noticed was how fast it was. It only took about 5 minutes to get the computer set u
PROS: Excellent Security, Very Fast (depending on your system), And has a futuristic look that is way cooler than any OS I've ever seen

"Awesome for the price."
I was trying to do an upgrade, but it kept locking up on install. I booted XP up in safe mode, and vista made me do a clean install, but it backed up all my files to the new O/S. More features than I expected. Sidebar "Gadgets" are very handy. Make
PROS: Easy file integration from XP (even if doing a clean install)
CONS: Somewhat sluggish while multitasking
