cool
- Pros: cool features. very pretty, love the 64-bit. very user-friendly from what i can see. installation was easy. recognizes all my memory.
- Cons: cant play some 32-bit-only games. the actual size of the operating system is rather large.
- Other Thoughts: i actually only got this cause it was the cheapest OS on the egg, so i could install it, then just get W7. but, i have really seen no reason to change yet, im kinda enjoying it.
Oops
- Pros: Easy to use.
- Cons: Didn't realize upon purchasing it I wouldn't be able to watch DVDs, among other small things they don't include and it cost over $100 to upgrade to the Pro version.
- Other Thoughts: Waste of money.
Tips on x64 vosta and win 7 drivers upgrade
- Pros: First thing, grab a mini dvd or a blank dvd. then click on computer. click on c drive. then click on show files (if accessible) then go to system32, then burn copies of DRVSTORE , and DriverStore. and then click on SysWOW64. locate drivers, and DRIVERSTORE. burn them also to the dvd. The you got your set of drivers without hassle
- Cons: wished I would have learned this a long time ago, heheheh
- Other Thoughts: Experience is the greatest teacher in Life. We all live and learn. Vista UAC can be turned off. Its highly recommended to visit a site to tweak UAC and then have it turned off if you are used to xp. But the security features are useful in vista to prevent infection. this is a plus.

| Features |
Windows Vista Home Basic is the operating system for homes with basic computing needs. It is easy to set up, it helps you use your PC more securely and reliably, and like all of the editions of Windows Vista, it is compatible with the widest range of software, devices, and services that you use and trust. If you simply want to use your PC for tasks such as surfing the Internet, corresponding with friends and family using e-mail, or performing basic document creation and editing tasks, then Windows Vista Home Basic will deliver a safer, more reliable, and more productive computing environment.
In addition to all previously released updates, SP1 contains changes focused on addressing specific reliability and performance issues, supporting new types of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards. SP1 also continues to make it easier for IT administrators to deploy and manage Windows Vista. Service Packs are not intended to be a vehicle for releasing significant new features or functionality; however some existing components do gain slightly enhanced functionality in SP1 to support industry standards and new requirements. |
