| Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION] |
Breakthrough Windows Vista Experience Designed to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and to control your computing experience, all editions of Windows Vista introduce a breakthrough user experience. The visual sophistication of Windows Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently. Innovative User Interface Windows Vista Home Premium has a new user interface named Windows Aero, which is both efficient and visually stunning. This new interface makes it easier than ever before to find your way around the operating system; it even makes it a snap to accomplish multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all of your open applications and documents. Additionally, Windows Vista Home Premium helps you quickly find and organize large collections of documents, pictures, movies, videos, and music. By integrating search throughout the operating system, this software helps you quickly find exactly what you are looking for. Improved Mobility Windows Vista Home Premium makes it easy to take your home computing experience with you wherever you go. For example, the system includes Windows Tablet and Touch Technology that enables you to interact with your Tablet PC-compatible computer with a digital pen or your fingertip instead of having to use a keyboard. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. You'll even be able to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect to your favorite Wi-Fi hotspot. More Entertainment Options Windows Vista Home Premium has the power to improve every aspect of your digital entertainment experiences, including viewing and sharing photos, video, TV, movies, music, games, and more. For example, you can create your own DVDs and edit your own high-definition movies. The most exciting news, however, is that Windows Vista Home Premium includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center so you can enjoy your music, photos, and DVD movies. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. You will also be able to connect Windows Vista Home Premium to your Microsoft Xbox 360 to extend your Media Center experience to multiple rooms in your home. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Get Windows 7My computer developed problems. Instead of moving up to Windows 7, I decided to re-install Vista Home Premium. Bad choice. It is not the same as the orginal factory installed Vista Home Premium. A lot of things that were orginally included are missing on this 'Full' version. So, if you're looking restore your computer to just like it was when you bought it...forget it. Rating: - Very very slow!Have used Win 3.1, Win 98, Win ME, Win Xp, and Win Vista. For me, stability, speed, and ease of navigation are paramount. Until Vista, each new system seemed to offer an improvement, perhaps slight, of one aspect or another. Vista has so far seemed quite stable, but stability has not made up for the losses in its other 2 aspects. In previous versions of Windows, the Control panel was easy to find. In Vista it is infinitely more difficult to find what I am looking for. Also, loading an application in Vista is slower than ME or XP. Microsoft applications generally load much faster than non microsoft applications (unfair). Excel pops up quickly. Wordperfect (non MS), takes a very long time to load. I was able to achieve a tiny improvement in speed by enabling write-back caching (the help file suggested using this disk enhancement only if a back-up battery is attached). Some of the applications in Control Panel take nearly 15 sec just to load. If I needed to find a system file, finding it in ME took 10 seconds or less (searching the entire hard drive). It takes over a minute to find it in Vista - and the Vista machine is a faster machine! The file finder in Vista is the worst invocation of a simple user need that MS has ever come up with. While I haven't seen it, I'll wait longer than usual to upgrade to Win 7. It's hard to believe that anyone gained anything by moving from XP to Vista except for distrust. Why send a check to MS when they've done little or nothing to improve my overall experience. Rating:  - Bad for XP game lovers...I upgraded my computer so it'd specifically run Vista: AMD Phenom II X4 940 4 GB of RAM Almost 2 TB of hard drives Nvidia 9600 GT To my knowledge, there isn't a game out there that really makes this compute lag. Crysis with every setting maxed out runs perfectly. Now to my point: I installed a great many games that were released for XP and ran on XP perfectly. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS!!! I spent a week trying to find all the patches that would allow the games and quite a few non-game programs to run. I simply gave up and went back to XP. BUT, what I did experience of Vista wasn't too bad. I simply just did not feel that it was worth the upgrade. It used an unnatural amount of system resources and responded to my commands sluggishly. They made such a big stink about it and it was mediocre. DX10 was pretty nice, but few games took advantage of it. Internet Explorer continually crashed on it and several other computers with it. All in all it was a mediocre upgrade for a typical computer user. If you do anything more than check your Internet on it you'll start to notice a lot of problems. My advice, stay with XP, wait until Windows 7 gets plenty of reviews and then make that jump depending on how much money you have to spend on the relevancy of the reviews. Rating: - VISTAA bitter, eye-opening experience. Vista reqires more than 15 gig of harddrive space for the basic load. Many areas in the system were restricted as I discovered when I tried to see what was using so much drive space. A better choice would have been to stay with XP. Rating: - Amazingly slowI have been using Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit version patiently for several months now. The "performance indicator" says my Windows Vista experience is a 5.6 out of a possible 5.9 -- this is supposed to be some indication of how fast my hardware is. So, my hardware is top notch -- brand new HP quad core Phenom 2.4 GHz processors with 8GB of RAM. As soon as I boot, I notice the OS is using 1.5GB of RAM, before I touch anything. If I leave Internet Explorer open, it has a memory leak that gets progressively worse and completely overtakes the system within a few hours. My patience has run out. I'm reverting back to Windows XP, or at least installing a dual boot configuration, because this machine is just silly slow. I have brand new, top-of-the-line 64-bit hardware and a crazy amount of RAM; and this machine feels slow. I'm amazed at how inferior of a product this is.
