Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to install on my new build. I have been so use to watching the blue screen and following the prompts to install an Operating System and I thought that this Windows Vista Ultimate system would be the same. It made partitions and practically installed itself.
Cons: Some DVD's made with Vista Ultimate will not play on the Windows XP based cmputers at my daughter's school.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It was a legal copy and it came with a upgrade coupon! Works great, there were a few things it couldn't do. Now I have Windows 7 Ult. and it has no problems at all completely compatible!
Cons: It used for me 989MB - 1.5GB of RAM and my CPU was always working. My system Idles with a cpu usage of 4-9%
MY CPU is a AMD Athlon 64 2.8 Dual Core. I think it hated my CPU. Now I have Windows 7 every thing works really GREAT! My system idles at 0-1% CPU now and I use 400-600MB RAM
Other Thoughts: When this had the upgrade it was worth 5 eggs.. Now IMO its worth 1 EGG... Windows 7 totally ROXS!

Features
Features Windows Vista Ultimate is the most comprehensive edition of Windows Vista. It is the first operating system that combines all of the advanced infrastructure features of a business-focused operating system, all of the management and efficiency features of a mobility-focused operating system, and all of the digital entertainment features of a consumer-focused operating system. For the person who wants one operating system that is great for working from home, working on the road, and for entertainment, Windows Vista Ultimate is the operating system that lets you have it all.

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.
