Vista just spells out the end for MS Windows in corporate world. Out here in the Mideast, one is bound to see flashy press releases and glitzy splashes about corps upgrading to vista, oh it’s just all show Worst-case scenario is the same firms switching back to XP, some experimenting with Macs and more LAMP converts which is all towards a good cause

Most of the SI’s and key critical installations don’t bother themselves with vista, its a downright pain when it comes to EAI across various domains and especially while interfacing with a cross of ERP solutions.

Vista sucks. Period

Don’t get me started on Vista problems — I can give you an earful too. But I’ve been a Mac owner since 1984 and can tell you that Macs aren’t perfect either.

Your experience puzzles me, though. I just got a Lenovo X60 a few weeks ago and have had problems with some drivers. Meanwhile my new Dell Inspiron works just fine. Have you contacted Lenovo?

Vista is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.

The darn thing cant even install Office 2007 which was supposed to be built SPCEIALLY for Vista, from what I’ve heard.

Those guys are totally mad I tell you..!!

Unfortunately, going for MAC or Ubuntu right now is not an option for me

Vista sucks period. I can’t wait for the next 18 months of updates and service packs just to get it to the point where XP is for me now.

Yuri, upgrading MS software has caused problems since Win’95, the only way to go is with a clean install. I am running Office 2007 with XP Pro and it is fine, fast and reliable. I have just installed Vista Ultimate with Office 2007 and it also seems fine. The XP system is an Athlon64 3200 with 1GB and the new system is a P4 3GHz, also with 1GB. The clean install is the difference, never ever upgrade and existing MS product!

Yuri, I’m glad you are pleased with Vista and your new PC. I remain firm in my belief and approach. It is only days before I pick up my MAC. That fixes the security in one stroke without the pain. Thanks for dropping by! Cheers Stuart

Sure, Vista is more complicated then its predecessors - the price you pay for added security and reach end-user experience. But when you get to know the system well it is getting very easy to install all what you need and adjust (configure) all the devices to make it work properly. I got Dell Inspiron 1405 with approximately. Same configuration and after a week of trials it works well
