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.

5 out of 5 stars Window Vista Home Premuin Software   August 24, 2008
Seller shipped in a reasonable length of time. Packaging was as advertised, sealed as stated and was new Old Version. Unfortunately was not able to load on my pc because to many upgrades needed to be made for everything to work. Otherwise I have no problem, would buy from this seller again.


1 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY VISTA!!!!   July 31, 2008
Unless you want to buy a whole knew bunch of peripherials don't buy Windows Vista. My wife recently needed to buy a new computer so we bought a new Dell with Windows Vista. The salesman said that Vista was the way to go.

I get the thing home and my printer does not work (a recent HP laserjet) and my digital camera is also NOT SUPPORTED!!!

If you are going to have anything to do with Windows Vista you should make sure that any devices you own (or may possibly will own) are supported...not likely. WINDOWS VISTA SUCKS!!!



4 out of 5 stars Good and stable but not fully compatible   July 14, 2008
I got this with my dell. I love it. I have read alot of reviews about how it is a bloated programme and how so many others are better but i honestly love this OS. I need not go into how nice the interface looks for i am sure alot of persons have done that for me. With Service Pack 1 and my regular updates i have not noticed any problems stability-wise. I have even read reviews that show that with SP1 its performance is now comparable to the hugely successfull predecessor XP with SP2.

I was very disappointed with the fact that i could not use certain programmes with it...noteably ArcView 3.x and ArcGIS 9.0 . All other compatable issues i had were eventually solved by driver updates from the device or software manufacturers.

I love it.



5 out of 5 stars Windows Vista   June 11, 2008
Ok, so first of all, i have no idea why people are so pissed at this software, u may call me lucky, but windows vista runs perfect on my computer with just about no faults, now or ever (and my computer (custom) is kind of out dated: AMD Athlon 64 3200, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, 2Gb of memory...), plus i literally have the very first version of home premium, i pre ordered it.

I REALLY like the interface, and all games play a lot (a lot!) better than on Xp (i do hard core gaming between crysis (also wrote a review), counter strike, Day of Defeat, CS:s, and Flight simulator x). The only thing thats actually really slow on vista is MS office, but thats also slow on Xp, and on my MacBook. As for the security pop up screen, the first week or so its annoying but then u dont even notice, or even care about it. Windows also does all the tasks that u had to do manually be fore automatically, for example drivers it downloads automatically, and it has a very very easy wireless set up (first it downloads the drive (automatically!), and then u just click on what wireless network to join.

Also my friend has a $500 laptop and WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE runs on it amazingly fast, and he too likes it (he upgraded from Xp) more than the update

now after using windows vista, Xp seems really outdated, hard to use, and just plain bad (horrible interface!).

i love this product and strongly advise you to buy it (except for ppl w/ really bad and really outdated computers)
Btw, im currently building a new computer (just about done!!! ive ordered half from Amazon, half from newegg) and when ive used Vista long enough one the new computer, i will update my review

1 out of 5 stars Vista vista vista.   May 27, 2008

Why, microsoft??

A couple years ago, microsoft came out with a good product with the XP system. It was a relatively good program, with only the occasional patch. Very user friendly, and didn't make people want to shoot themeselves.

Along came Vista.

As it is aptly said in a different review, the complete de-evolution of computing. The boys at microsoft really screwed this one up, trying to copy the more popular mac software.

Whoops

They completely failed at it!! Vista is the absolute worst form of computing. Complete suckiness. It was way overcomplicated and made very user-unfriendly

I wonder how many Vista-related suicides there have been?
