    This is true of all flavors of Vista. I got it on my new dual-core pavilion, which now runs slower than my old single-core Presario with WindowsXP. The reason is that all actions now have to go through a system subprocess, which REALLY slows things down. The games I play now run at half-speed compared even to much slower processors – so now they’re unplayable. Also, there are a many pieces of software (like my Palm Sync app) that simply won’t run under vista. So if you can avoid it, don’t use it – get WinXP if possible. The problem is Microsoft is trying to force vista on everyone by withdrawing drivers for WinXP from new computer support. If anyone knows where I can get WinXP drivers for my Pavilion dv6325us I would appreciate it if you could tell me!! Then I could dump vista for WinXP. The only nice technical feature I’ve found is that it will let you resize partitions – other than that single feature, it’s a leap *backward* in user friendliness and ability from XP.

    I got Vista which was supposed to be compatible. If you are using Visual Studio, creating ASP.Net applications and connecting to Oracle databases you are out-of-luck. No solutions to that one.

    Having been somewhat seduced by the corporate hype, I expected a lot better than what I got. the software doesn’t read half my files….is slower on the internet than the previous OS. Trying to sort and move files around is a bloody nightmare on occaision….certainly not straightforward nor simple. It doesn’t recognize certain photo or video formats. I don’t really understand who this was configured for?? It’s back to XPS for me.

    …and that’s all she wrote, folks.

    Vista is the worst investment I ever made. I would gladly switch back to Windows XP at any time, but then my 8GB of Ram won’t be detected and the computer definitely wouldn’t run to it’s full capacity. Perhaps that’s the only appeal of Vista at this point…being able to run so much Ram that no one is actually going to need for another 4 years (and yes I’m guilty of it too). I have had nothing but problems with this OS since the day it was installed.

    If you’re looking to purchase the 64-bit Windows Vista package, make sure that you don’t need your computer for anything important. I can get nothing to work on this computer at all. Everything you have probably heard about Vista’s compatibility issues is true…virtually everything I’ve tried to use so far has not worked. This includes important peripherals and necessary programs. With my previous computer dying of old age and the tremendous deal on OEM parts on NewEgg, I figured Vista was definitely the way to go. I am so badly regretting that decision now. We use my wife’s 5 year old Dell laptop as the primary computer now since my Vista desktop is basically only good for gaming and nothing else.

    Here’s a list of all the things that are thus far incompatible with Vista. This is all from first-hand experience:

    - Dell Printers

    - Limewire

    - Olympus Digital Cameras

    - Canon Digital Camera

    - Various types of USB optical mouse

    - Dell Jukebox MP3 Players

    - I-Pods

    - I-Tunes

    - Digital Camcorders

    - Roughly 80% of games created pre-2006 (that I’ve tried)

    - Various Dell Scanners

    - Various HP Printers and Scanners

    - Various USB-related devices

    - Various speaker systems

    - And more every day

    I had Vista professionally installed…I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to installations like that so I wanted to have it done by someone who knows what they are doing. When I gave the person the parts and Vista, I thought he was joking when he said “I’ll see you again in about a month when you want to downgrade back to XP.” If I had only known then what I know now. In one month of owning Vista i’ve had nothing but frustration and anger. The only thing it does well is run World of Warcraft, and my wife is thrilled at the amount of space we have for her Real Arcade games.

    I probably sound like I’m just whining…well, I’m one of the many who have had nothing but problems with Vista. As badly as my old computer was running before it just died, it still was compatible with everything I owned. Since I “upgraded” to Vista 64 with my new computer, I haven’t been able to print, scan, load pictures onto my computer, or do anything else that any home office NEEDS.

    Don’t be an idiot like me and get Vista because you want 8 gigs of ram, which you DO NOT NEED for any logical reason. XP 64 works just as good, and you won’t have to deal with Vista’s rampant issues. Just think of Vista as the Next “Windows 2000″. Since the new Windows is launching in 2009, Vista is just another Microsoft stumbling block that’s costing us too much money and wasted time. I’m glad I bought this trash product OEM and didn’t pay full price. This is the worst OS I have ever used. Go with XP and stay away from Vista at all costs.
