Default For Those That Have Vista...What Are Your Thoughts On It?

I'd just like to get your thoughts on Microsoft's latest Operating System. Do you like, or hate it? I've yet to send away for the upgrade, but I will soon.

I don't have it, but my friend does, and he loves it, at first he said that he hated it, because you had to download, a lot of plug-ins and drivers for everything, and that took forever, but know he has everything set up, so he is happy with it now! He says that he likes it alot because of all the security features,he has been getting, a lot less viruses, since the upgrade.

I kinda like the fact that it rates your computer based upon what componets it has (i.e Video Card, GBs, ect.) Only real problem I have with it is it tells me my computer is rated 1.6

I have it on my laptop and I really like it. It is very fast. With all of the effects enabled it is just as fast if not faster than XP.

I find Vista is really easy to use and it has great features such as sidebars and such....I love it.

I had Vista on my laptop once....it was great until I was forced to downgrade it to Windows XP because one of my most important programs would refuse to run under anything newer than XP.....but while I used Vista it was amazing. I got a rating of 3.0

I have Vista Ultimate on my new computer.

I like it a lot. I have had very few compatibility issues and those that I have had were solved eventually.

I have a Windows Experience Score of 5.3. Basically that translates to FAST.

I've heard great and terrible things about Vista. But now that most software providers are stepping up their compatibility with Vista, I think its positives far outweigh its negatives. I will probably be getting a new computer in the near future with Vista, so here's hoping the best.

I have windows vista and I love it. It is faster than xp, and it looks sweet. I dont use the side bar though, I find it pointless.

I like the sidebar for certain things. Although I did find that it does slow down start up time a little.
