Don't buy it
I tried to upgrade from XP to Vista. I have a very powerful PC - 3GB and dual core processor and sufficient graphic card - but Vista only does about 90% of what it should be doing. Two major problems are after installing vista I can not deinstall...

Compared to XP Pro, this is garbage.
I bought a brand new laptop with XP Pro on it. It had an AMD 64 X2 (dual core), 2 gigs a memory, a 120 GB harddrive and an ATI video card. I formatted the drive and did a fresh install of Vista. The laptop took over 5 minutes just to start up...

Everything Crashes
I have not found any software that will run reliably on Vista without eventually crashing. Every game crashes. Microsoft Office crashes. Even Internet Explorer and File Explorer crash routinely. You may need to run Windows DVD Maker a dozen...

INSTALL THIS AND VOID YOUR MACHINE'S WARRANTY
Be careful before you install this "anytime" upgrade. I installed it on a new Dell that came with Vista Home Premium on it and first of all, besides wiping out all my data files which it said it wouldn't do (I did have backups but still), wiping...

Windows XP and even 2000 are better.
I purchased the Vista Ultimate Upgrade disc in April and have had alot of trouble with it since then. I'm still having trouble getting Vista to share my HP printer with the other computers on my home network. Everything on Vista seems to takes...

"Not Compatible yet!"
Vista is pretty, but pretty isn't enough. Dont go running out and buying it yet. I did, and I was sorry. I went back and re-installed xp sp2. I wasn't able to find any drivers for my printer, which was only about a year old, and I had the hardest tim
PROS: Vista has a lot of great features, and looks great. Specifically the system backup and recovery tools are great.
CONS: Vista needs driver support. There are just too many products out there that arent compatible with Vista yet.

Do not upgrade!
I upgraded to Vista and have had numerous compatibility issues with the previously installed programs and drivers. It's also slower than XP. Not recommended!

CONS: If you change the HW configruation you have to reactivate by phone.

Why pay for a bunch of 1s and 0s. It's not a real product!
Imagine you could create in infinite number of copies of any given book. Say a dictionary. Now imagine that you wanted to sell the dictionary. Normal market economics would suggest that you have infinite supply which will far outstrip demand...
