What did you do! No!!!
Vista is a tricky operating system. It's going to work fine for the first months. Then it's going to ask you for updates, and more and more. It's going to lag, and decrease your computer's performance. Yes, the interface is glossy and nice, but it's not worth it.
Edit:
Well to be honest, I've been using this OS for over a year, and during that gradual change, I've began noticing that this isn't such a bad OS at all. After the SP2, things have cleared up and facilitated. Give it a try. Can't be "that" bad.

I love Vista. Been using it for 10 months now without any problems.
by Drastic on February 2nd, 2008
Yep!
by Hypatia on December 18th, 2008
This Microsoft incomprehensible mania to imitate Mac's interface has produced this piece of trash called Vista: unreliable, too much securities and still too many bugs and viruses.

So sorry :-/
by Shane De Montigny on February 2nd, 2008
Not a chance.. its a resource hog. the only thing it has going for it is the nice look. Other than that it is another wonderful piece of crap form Microsoft...
by pouncey on August 31st, 2009
I use to think it was nice but then i hated it but now im just use to it. It's ok.
by Brian on June 4th, 2008
My PC came with XP and it works just fine.
I've never used Vista and I'm going to avoid using it for as long as I can.

I want to hunt down all copies, burn them, encase the ashes in molten lead and drop them in the deepest part of the ocean.
by Michael on June 4th, 2008
you are so limited when you have vista what are you amish?!
by sanoski on June 4th, 2008
Slackware user: Microsoft sucks and so does Mac. But I'd rather use Mac than Vista...

i hate that damn thaing i get hacked errors all kind of crap
by Emperian on May 25th, 2008
The problem with windows Vista is the same problem Windows XP had....it must undstable. But with each service pack to come it will improve. When Xp came out I still used Windows 98SE for a year or so untill it became stable and usable....so yes Vista sucks now but in time it will improve....but if you want stable get Linux, gaming XP and Direct X 10 gaming go for Vista....
by Nicole on March 26th, 2008
NO!!!! I hate it. I want my old computer back. :(
by richardshines on February 18th, 2008
Hell no! I downgraded back to WinXP! Stupid microsoft and their expensive mistakes...
(note WE pay for their buggy software while microsoft is still working on the problems ALL the time hence all the damn patches...)
The day there is a windows emulator for Linux that works 100% of the time is the day I kick microsoft out of my life for good! :D
You'd think with their vast empire and riches they could hire a few people to test and 'attack' windows and find all the flaws before they ship out their buggy ass products!

I hate it so much!!!
by Anon y mouse on February 18th, 2008
Without Service Pack 1, Vista is slower and less reliable than XP. However, the service pack does make a big difference. You can get started with SP1 here:

by DA BEN DAN yanggui zi on February 3rd, 2008
I don't know. I am working on XP for now and willing to let them work out some of the problems on Vista before I make the big switch:)
by Kiss A Fat Babys Ass on February 2nd, 2008
I actually love it. I love the dreamscenes,the 3d flip I love Media center. I havent found much I don't like about.
by Anonymous on February 2nd, 2008
Stick with XP for atleast another year, its the 'lesser of the two unstables'.
by Jez is recovering on February 2nd, 2008
I hate it. I have so many problems with both my comptuers that have it. I want to find a brand new computer with XP on it. :(
by Chopsy the Diver on February 2nd, 2008
I feel the same way chick, yeah it looks good, but it seems to have lost some old festure of xp which means i have to go the long route, yep i have a few issues with vista too :)
by Teetotal Michael on February 2nd, 2008
Yes, I've been using it for over a year, and I have liked it all the way. It looks good, it has the best tools yet, and I have had 99.9% less errors than I had with XP Pro.
by vittau on September 5th, 2009
There's only one use for Vista now, and that is to get a discount on Windows 7.
by Pablo on September 5th, 2009
At first it ran a little slower then what I expected but
after I got used to the thing it seemed OK
it is not for everyone~~some people would be better off
not upgrading their system~~
but now that you have the investment into the upgrade you
either learn to use the system or go back to your old
format~~this is up to you
by XT on July 6th, 2009
Yes. I like it. But I don't like Windows XP anymore.
by 2highspeed on December 28th, 2008
Windows is JUNK. Mac is a far better machine. Window's only saving grace is that not everyone has switched yet.
by Theby on December 17th, 2008
I hate WV. My computer is not performing the way it used to with XP. I think I'll be going back to XP.
by Here i come on February 18th, 2008

by Riding the last galaxy on October 12th, 2009
When I had it, I didn't really like it. I now use Linux Ubuntu.

by Capital J on September 5th, 2009
i love vista!!! sure xp rocks... if you like living in the past. like listening to 80s music, wearing bell bottoms, watching howdie doodie on your 13" black and white tv and listening to your transistor radio. vista is a definate upgrade from xp.

I have one and gives me problems.
by Musicman6221 on September 5th, 2009
I upgraded from XP to Vista and I didn't like it at first, but then started to like some of the features like the Aeri windows and such. I like how it previews pics that I take with my camera and creates slide shows! but thats all I like about it. I have had nothing but trouble since I installed Roxio Easy CD/DVD Copier on it that said it was Vista Compatible. It wasn;t and now it freezes when i try to launch the program, and Uninstall "stalls" on any program that I try to uninstall. i will have to reformat and reload. I am thinking about going back to XP, which is what I would do if I were YOU! GOOD LUCK if you decide to stick with it. It will eventually betray you and have you gnashing your teeth!
by Firebrand on August 31st, 2009
To be polite .
YOU NEED YOUR BRAINS TESTING.
Vista is rubbish even after 2 years they cannot get any of the programmes compatible. I have hundreds of pounds worth of software that I cannot use on Vista.
It does not have one redeeming feature.
by Merriment on August 31st, 2009
Hate it!
by jshm22 on August 31st, 2009
Windows 7 is better still buggy though. Windows Vista is the new Windows ME
by roiboysatx on August 10th, 2009
windows vista is the most horrible thing microsoft came out with. you should have waited a few months for the new windows 7. vista has alot of problems, esp with a 64 bit system. in my opinion a piece of junk. microsoft should off the new windows 7 free of charge to the vista purchasers.
by Don Quixote el Manchego on July 29th, 2009
it grows on you. make sure you have the latest service pack, though

Vista sucks.
by Grant aka Guybrush Threepwood on July 25th, 2009
it's alright. it's mainly for people who don't know how to work a computer. everything has a wizard.
but i like it just fine.
by keiran on July 25th, 2009
its kinda annoying, mine always asks me approve things, and thats after i have told it to go head and do it? :S
by RC loves ice cream on July 6th, 2009

Lately I hear tiny beep when I try to access the HD. It doesn't access. I try again and it does. The screen freezes up or the cursor stops.
