I just bought a new PC and it comes pre-loaded with Windows Vista. Is this a good OS? I'm worried it might be another ME?

So far, so good. I DID have one problem in the first week. The pre-installed Norton AV was reporting error messages. Neither Symantec nor HP could help with the issues...(long, angry story) This machine replaces the WinME I used for six years. I can only hope Vista serves me as well.

Here's an idea - try it and decide for yourself. I'm not being rude, I'm only suggesting that perhaps you are the best judge of whether the OS meets your needs. There's a lot of bad press going around about Vista, but I know a lot of people who are quite happy with it. Your mileage will vary.

I have found it to be the best op sys so far (from Microsoft). I have turned off the constant "are you sure you want to run that prog", and am wondering how long it will be before more Vista ready apps will appear. I agree with those who said 'try it and see how you go on'.

I installed Vista the day before it was released cuz I'm cool like dat. A few issues at first but just about everything I could do with XP I can do with Vista. I like the prettiness of it even though I wouldn't switch to it just for that. The security and UI enhancements make it worth it for me.

You cannot buy anything that does NOT have Vista installed in the UK , in any of the top stores. They say that within 2 years XP will go the way of Windows 98. That is great for me i just bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop with XP installed. On the whole i cannot say a lot becuse i have not really got used to it yet . Some of my old programmes are not compatible. On the whole except for it costing me quite a lot to install programmes i have on my other PC and laptop it seems to be going well enough.

Microsoft Admits Vista Failure http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39087 Noooo! Get XP. Microsoft already admitted Vista is a failure, and EVEN DELL STARTED offering computers with XP again because sooo many people were complaining. If you ask a comp savvy person, they will tell you to avoid Vista at all costs.
