We are still having compatibility issues with our programs in our office, but thankfully I convinced the boss not to tank my old computer. I set it up in an empty office, and it's my go-to machine when things don't work right. Some of the aspects of Vista are great, and once the kinks get worked out, I'm sure I'll love it like I did XP. But for now, it's frustrating dealing with it freezing up, hiding icons from me, etc.

If we expect Upgrade OS then why not we want to upgrade our Hardware?? Vista needs more hardware because its worth of that wait for the Microsoft Next Big release Windows Vienna( BlackComb) that will change the definition of Operating systems !!

Gee, where have I heard that before? I consider an upgrade to be a system which provides more capability that the previous version, does not discontinue any useful capabilities of the previous version, it at least as stable as the previous version, and is at least as easy to use as the previous version. I don't believe Vista meets those requirements very well, and I'm certainly not waiting on the edge of my seat for Microsoft's next great idea.

Hey, I love Vista. In fact, I've been tinkering around with Alpha releases of Longhorn as well. You have to understand a new product will have bugs - same as happened with XP when it first came out. That said, I have to agree with fishsqzr when he says that
Let's see how Vista turns out eventually.

well said everyone hated xp when it first came out now everone defends it and love it. Vista is a revolutionary operating system the and one of the main reasons thier are problems is becuase microsoft had to bog it down with large ammounts of code to provide legacy support so no onoe moaned about it not being backwards compatible (like everyone is anyway). Soon vista will be the most stable o/s around and the only choice out thier. Just stick with it!! Oh and if you spend a bit on money on your hardware it will run like a dream.
If my post helped add to my rep!

Personally, Vista is a great os for anyone. It contains advanced and helpful features like aero in premium versions, instant search, sidebar, security up to a really high level, parental controls, and media center in home premium and ultimate. It will be kind of hard to get used to its bad side first (compatibility and new gui), but soon you will love it (like xp when it first came out, and xp now). Remember that vista is a hungry os, and if you feed it, it will give lots of performance in return. just make sure u have a good video card (a shared one will be fine for aero only, but get a dedicated one for media center and hd programs), and lots of ram (2gigs for notebooks, 3-4gigs for desktops, though a gig or a gig and a half would do fine for light to light-medium users.) Remember, all new apps will be designed mainly for vista, so u choose, compatibility issues now, or later? Get vista!!!

Sorry, I've been using Vista nearly six months and I've just learned to ignore it as much as possible. A few things are better, but I've found the system less than stable and less than convenient as well. The Help is pathetic, which doesn't make it easier to learn to use. Part of my problem is I bought Office '07 with it, which has been more of the same, not to mention the great fun I'm having trying to get NET to do what I want using C#. I am an experience user. I find it difficult to find the things I KNOW should be available. I don't have time to worry about all of the nice new features I'll probabaly disable if I come across them. I just want to get my work done. Vista HAS NOT helped.

please give me your pc's serial number and manufacturer so i can find your pc's exact specs so i can see where your pc needs upgrading to handle vista and make it stable.
P.S. Is this preinstalled vista or vista on top of a preinstalled xp.

This a new Dell Inspiron 1720, factory installed Vista with all automatic updates enabled (and God knows that takes up a bit of my time too). If M$ can't update me, I'm sure not going to start passing out personnal information to a total stranger (not to mention the rest of the forum). On a positive note, I have discovered that my Bluetooth mouse now remembers its tracking speed, so something got fixed (somehow) anyway. Of course, it suddenly quit working without waring and I had to reinstall it, but at least once I did that it works better.
Don't get all defensive about Vista. You have your right to love it if you like. I reserve the right not to.
