I love Vista
Pros: Intuitive, easy to use, and simple. It fixes all the annoyances of XP and added many useful tools, as well as DVD codecs, and the ability to burn DVDs with only the operating system!
Cons: Vista can be hard to learn. It is a completely new OS from the ground up. It simply does everything differently. If you have used other Windows operating systems extensively (an who hasn't) then the transition is difficult because of the habits built in the decade XP has dominated PCs. Administrtor prompts can be annoying, but they have saved me from viruses / unwanted programs on more than one occasion.
Overall Review: Once you take the time to learn how Vista is reorganized, you will find XP hard to use. I XP feels clunky and overcomplicated when I use an XP computer. As long s you have a Vista ready computer (dual core, 2 gigs of ram MINIMUM and a DX10 video card) you will enjoy your Vista experience.
Not worth half of what I paid.
Pros: Long cord. Volume switch and mic off switch are well placed and include a clip to prevent the annoying load on one side of your head.
Cons: Everything else. I expected quality and great sound out of the Sennheiser name. I got neither in this headset. It is uncomfortable, the band is not adjustable and the earpiece covers are abrasive and irritating. The sound is HORRIBLE. The bass is almost in audible, other than disrupting the mid and high ranges when it hits. The mic is at a fixed short length and hardly pics up any noise. I have all the inputs maxed and I have to cup the mic and my mouth to be heard on vent.
Overall Review: I was very disappointed with these. I expected Sennheiser quality, and I paid for it, but what I received feels like a $15 Logitec headset. I intentionally avoided those products and paid 4 times as much for these. I wish I had not. After 10 years of using Sennheiser equipment for both concerts (I previously worked as an audio engineer) and my personal computer, I may never buy another Sennheiser product.
No complaints!
Pros: Games look great. Just set them all to max. Had no idea WoW looked this good. Witcher 3, Fallout 4 on max, runs great.
Cons: Wasn't free.
Love these lights.
Pros: The natural light tone is amazing. Instantly made the incandescent and fluorescent lights in our house look terrible.
Cons: I keep thinking there is a window on the wrong side of my apartment. It was disorientating.
Overall Review: I ordered these because I moved to the Pacific North West from the south and I missed the natural light. As I've done photography for almost 20 years I looked for bulbs in this spectrum to simulate soft outdoor light. (like a cloudy day) I'm ordering them for every fixture in my house.
Better than Expected
Pros: Tight fit. Well constructed. Rubber seal wraps the phone, and the hard part snaps around it. Is not bulky at all.
Cons: None so far.
Misleading
Pros: Looks cool.
Cons: Says 8 buttons, but it really is only a 5 button mouse. 3 of the buttons are fixed by software and can not be changed. 2 of them switch mouse modes and the 3rd is a 'sniper' button. If you're buying this for extra gaming buttons don't bother. I have large hands and this mouse is very awkward to use. Between the lack of buttons and the awkward positioning I gave it to my wife and went back to a normal, $20 Microsoft mouse.
Incorrect listing.
Listed charger cables incorrectly. Purchased a $20 cable that was not for my Galaxy Tab.
