4 the people who upgraded 2 Windows Vista.
Was the upgrade worth it?
What do u see as the pros and cons of the upgrade?
Did u buy a new computer as well?
If not, how does it work on your old pc?

I bought a new a laptop and so i bought Vista.Vista r kinda different from the XPs.Well the menus r not the same but I haven't "studied" them a lot.

I just bought a computer with Vista on it.


The security crap is annoying as hell.

Just like the Mac commericals

You get use to the difference after awhile.

Media Player sucks

Internet Explorer sucks...We used AOL's browser in the past and we really liked the tab thing but its ackward or something on explorer.

I'm still learning Vista. Liked XP better.

Since it doesn't support most of the top music production software yet, I'm not going to upgrade.
XP works fine, demands less resources from the computer, and is supported by most software developers.

IT SUCKS!!! Still can't figure out to change whatever setting it is that is preventing me from sending attachments via email...i removed all the anti-virus crap that came with it and i still can't get it to work...

and don't start me on the updated excel.

Do NOT make the mistake of rushing into Vista. For the average user there is no real visible/major benefit at this point. In the future, as more apps take advantage of the new features, and as MS releases bug fixes, that will change but for now it just isn't a must have.

It's, also, much harder on hardware requirements. What are your system specs now?

I'm a Mac user but all of my PC's still are on XP. I'm not going 2 change just yet. I was inquiring about Vista. I guess I'm not sold on it.

We have vista on some computers at the university I attend and I can't understand how to manage word!

I guess I'm sticking 2 XP.

Is it really that different?, I havent tried mine on my computer yet.

veronikka said:

from what i remember, it was the placement of the menus & such that threw me off.

evenstar3 said:

Yeah me too! I was like, "Where is the bold button?!"

Hubby bought a new computer with Vista and he's sending it back. Hated it.

It's a nice step up, but nothing to write home about.

It's way more secure, which is cool for all you freaks who browse porn sites cause you should notice that in like 3-4 months your PC should still be just as fast since it shouldn't be picking up malware/adware/spyware anymore. Or rather, it should be picking up less (nothing's flawless).

It looks fuckloads nicer than XP. I mean...what were they thinking with XP? Fisher Price?

Windows Media Player 11 is so much better than 10. I almost considered using it over Winamp...but didn't.

So as I said, it's better - but it's not amazing.

Thanks 4 all of the replies.

I had that problem but I don't remember how I resolved it.



As a grant writer, I LOVE the new word. Makes editing easier. Once you figure out where they hid every damn thing, its much, much, much better.

all of the office products are better in my opinion.


Media Player 11 is awful.

For those that hate the security shit:

Control Panel > Security Center > Other Security Settings > User Account Control > Turn Off

but what if i want all the security stuff but just want to be able to send attachments?

that can't be that hard of a thing to ask for, is it?
