What Customers Say About Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate FULL VERSION [DVD] [OLD VERSION]:

The firewall and security is more annoying than a bunch of rebellios immature kids ditching school and the programs are toilets, this stripped down sh9999y system is going in the toilet, thank GOd for Xp. Windows vista ultamite is just pure excrement, aka mojave, I said wow when I noticed the swarms of bugs in this software. Bill Gates hasalways been snickety, and now it's showing, 5 years, a piece of gold like XP, to pure excrement like vista, and the ultimate edition is worse than the premium or basic, and cost 6 times more.The most important problem is the overall speed while using the system, it takes an insane amount of resources to just open up the computer option, and since when was 1gb a supercomputers memory.The internet connection is pure -234, it will even crash your system, pop up microsft supported adds, and take an hour to clear up from not responding, and when you do get a connection it's 2 bars or less.The file download =, transfer rate is more excrement, taking hours to download files, or just doesn't download them, or corrupts the hell out of them so much that there almost like a virus, or they are lost after the journey download.THE TORRENT rate is even more excrement, the simplest youtube videos keep buffeting and loading and are still poor qaulity, the system sound is as loud as the baa of a sheep, and the multimedia support is crap.The system is not backwards compatible, and even if the game seems to install it's either corrupted the d-mn hell or not even there, and them lieing saying it did is total bulls99t.

XP is an upgrade by comparison. If you like a slow, incompatable computer, and making remote support nearly impossible, this OS is for you.

The package arrived from Microidea, the outside seller, on time, as promised. It took a couple hours to monkey with to get up and running after searching for the continuous reboot and other issues that required web searches to locate fixes.

After upgrading to the SP1 download, I can report that all the things that people complain about with Vista are still waiting in the hedgerows to ambush you. If you're a relatively novice user, however, I would seriously recommend paying the extra $20 or so to get the version sith SP1 incorporated in the DVD.

I continued using XP as long as I thought I could before installing Vista in December, 2008. I'm a little more experienced than many retail users and I knew what to do with the original Vista release.

Maybe the world will be lucky and Windows 7 will have settings so that applications I install will be able to open & operate without the user account "grey screen of annoyance" permission request. I intentionally purchased the original retail release without SP1 just to say I had the same experiences as the original purchasers a year or so ago.

I give Microidea 5 stars as a reseller, would buy from them again without reservation and can recommend Microidea to other Amazon customers.

It also means that programs that need administrator privileges will not run unnoticed which lessens the chance of a malicious program suddenly executing.If one remembers, one of the first Apple/MAC ads emphasized that Windows had a lot of security patches but the MAC didn't -- implying the MAC had stronger security. Searching for a file has also changed. Overall, I rate VU 5-star Yes, UAC can come across as annoying but it's really doesn't get in the way.

Some things are more intuitive but other things are not. To now chortle over Windows being made even more secure is, quite frankly, cheesy and misleading. I've just started using Vista Ultimate. The translucent theme is attractive. The user can now search indexed files (for speed) in addition to search all of the content (as it was done in XP). The major change is UAC.

This ad appeared just prior to the Month of Apple Bugs (Jan,2007) where 31 MAC security faults were detailed. It's not much different than running under SELINUX with the exception that there doesn't appear to be any way to temporarily disable it. I'm extremely careful yet occasionally with XP I've come across questionable things that have been installed without my awareness. For those who don't know, UAC means that the administrator runs as a normal user but can change security status on an as-needed basis. There may be a lot under the hood that's changed from XP but it's not readily apparent. I'm hoping UAC will help. The user interface is somewhat different between XP Pro and VU.

Disabling it permanently is possible but I wouldn't recommend it. I think it will be easier for the newer users. The presentation of the Start menu has changed a little and now it also includes a search feature. Going from XP to VU is a lot like going from W95 to W2K or XP.

There is too much visual 'fluff' and not enough utility to the OS.Looks like I'm going back to XP I regret every minute I use this OS.It is a resource hog and an immature operating system.
