In the last several weeks I have done 4 Vista installs and or upgrades. I have just converted the machine that I use the most to Vista Ultimate.
Vista has been out since January 2007. I usually wait a least 1 year before I install a new operating system but I needed to stay current with this new technology. So, I decided to use Vista every day.
First reaction - I think Vista Ultimate is the fist big step forward since Windows 3.1! Vista is GREAT!
The “MAC versus the PC” commercials are very entertaining but they don't reflect the experiences that I and probably millions of others have with Vista. I am not an unconditional Microsoft fan, however my expectations were substantially exceeded Vista.
No problems with install!
- All my drivers were found (I used 1 XP driver for a RAID card that was ”not supported” by Vista)
- Programs seemed to run faster
- I have not had an application “hang” since I installed vista
My computer environment is a low end machine by vista standards:
- ASUS mother board (P4P800-MX)
- P4 4 Hz processor
- 3 gigs memory
- 1 60 gig mirrored disks
- 2 160 gigs
I installed an OEM version of Vista Ultimate on a clean disk. Over the next several posts I will review the features that I find most interesting for the home and the business user.
