- vista stinks
- I have a macbook pro with windows xp i tried vista buisness on it and that stinks big time. It would restart right in the middle of working. I got a virus right away when id connect to the web and i had corporate virus protection to. I am not a newbie to computers i know what im doing and have some microsoft training on how to install and load windows correctly Vista by far is the worst OS ever made normally my custom installs of windows work very well but i could not get it to work. So dont buy it get windows xp pro while you still can it runs all your favorite software. By the way vista doesnt work with any mobile connection software from cell phones.

- Unusable
- I recently bought a Dell quad-core workstation, which had Windows Vista Business pre-installed. Apart from Internet Explorer, no program requiring internet access is working, including Opera, Firefox, CuteFTP, and Skype (all of which were working fine under Windows XP). I re-installed Windows Vista multiple times from the recovery DVD that came with the workstation, but it did not fix the problems. After about a month and 30 hours of wasted time, I upgraded to the Ultimate edition. Now everything is working fine, but my experience with Windows Vista Business has been very frustrating, time consuming, and expensive.

- Better than expected
- Windows Vista Business with SP1
Installed Vista Business edition using Boot Camp on a second drive of my MAC PRO. It performs very well, better than I expected. Probably because of the superior hardware of my MAC. Dual 3.0 ghz processors and 4GB RAM.
Starting up this OS isn't as fast as the Leopard OS but is typical of Vista. All in all, I would recommend giving Vista a try. I am rating it four stars. - 2008-05-29, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Frustrations and Satisfactions
- I'm running the 64-bit version of Vista Business through bootcamp on my mac pro (2.8 ghz early 2008). One thing that is very apparent is the time it takes to boot. I would guess it takes 45 seconds for the desktop to show up, and then sometimes a minute or two (it seems like ten) for it to stabilize enough for me to do anything. I've got loads of RAM and two Quad-Core processors running at 2.8 ghz so I would think that it would operate a little smoother. OSX Leopard boots up much much quicker (20 seconds maybe) on the same machine and is immediately stable enough to do anything I want. I'm not sure how much of a factor "bootcamp" is in all of this, but this is something I've experienced in just about every windows platform I've ever used, so probably not very much.
Another negative is the irritating pop-up confirmation notices. For example: "This requires administrator permission. Do you want to continue?" It gets old. Couple that with Security Suite pop-ups and the interruptions never end.
I do get good performance with gaming, the main reason I made the purchase, a lot of that can be attributed to the hardware though.
I've had to go hunting for some 64-bit drivers, but I've found them all. The interface nice and shiny, and it's familiar. I don't absolutely hate it, but I do hope some bugs get worked out in a future service pack maybe. - 2008-05-22, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
