Pros: Great operating system. Installed in about 15 minutes.
Cons: I didn't read the title before ordering and assumed that this had SP1. It doesn't... Some programs can alter the icons in the user directory and the only way to restore them is to reinstall Vista (?).
Overall Review: Don't believe the Vista haters. They don't know what they are talking about.
Pros: If you have a machine that can run it this is a great OS. I can't complain.
Cons: None
Pros: windows vista does great in RAID O even though some peple are under the mistaken idea that it won't, I have it on 2 80gb sata western digital hard-drives in raid 0 it runs great I get a 5.7 on hard-drive rating with a max of 5.9 so I would say that raid 0 works
Cons: none
Overall Review: people need to study up if they are going to try special OS instalation operations such as RAID using rosewill RC-209-EX PCI sata raid card. since I am restricted to 1.5gb instead of the 3.0 getting a 5.7 vista ratring shows something is working right
Pros: Better than xp and Super fast! Its pretty much perfect!
Cons: none
Overall Review: running dfi lanparty x38 mobo e7200 x1950 xtx 2 gb crucial RAM in Dual channel and seagate 250 gb sata hdd
Pros: Great OS. Looking forward to spending a little more time to enjoy all the new features.
Cons: none yet.
Overall Review: Using this OS for my HTPC setup. Works great so far!
Pros: it installed without a problem
Cons:
It cant work with or create striped or RAID drive arrays , you need home Ultimate for that so if you want to be able to run raid 0 for gaming performance be prepared to pony up the 260 bucks for Home Ultimate.
This is ridiculous as i can have stripped drives on XP home which was a 99 doller OS.
I Just thought i would try out vista now service PACK 1 is out, (I did the beta and it expired)
Overall Review:
Microsoft should have two version just like XP, Home and Pro this myriad of variations of OS are just plain confusing an an attempt to rip off the customer for more money.
So far i have yet to find ANY advantage of VISTA over XP, its certainty slower and i have a Kick bottom system! maybe Aero just lost its WOW factor on me because i ran it in Beta, but 3D task scrolling really just slows things down, pretty but not practicle!
Pros: So far so good. I had no problem with installing Vista Home Premium. Right now as I am typing this review I have to say that I am fairly impressed. I was very uncertain about getting Vista from many of the negative comments that I have heard. I guess it is based on lack of hardware requirements. Yes, the new lay-out will take sometime getting use to but that's really not a negative thing. There was a small hiccup if you will as I was surfing the web and in a few minutes it said what the problem was and what is a possible solution!! The hiccup was when I opend a second window in IE it flashed. It turns out that it has to do with my printer.
Cons:
None so far.. Will update.
If there has to be a con I guess they could have made the fonts on the product key a bit larger.
Overall Review:

And I was expecting this on Monday!! It could be due to the location for where the products orginated from but still
Newegg ROCK!!!!
