    "Not as black as it's painted"

    by Mathemusician on January 28, 2008

    Pros: Operational, functional

    Cons: Companies that are out of business may not have released compatible drivers

    Summary: A caution to anyone reading these reviews: most of the reviews on this site are from those who do not actually own the system and merely like to see their screenname up on a website.

    The overall experience of Vista is nice, with easier permissions management and great support. It's much more secure than XP and I would say far more stable, I have not yet had any problem with it (far from what can be said for my XP machine).

    I have nothing to complain of. Others' complaints seem to either have no basis or to be based on a lack of vista drivers or compatability for old hardware and software, most of which can be corrected with a quick online download. I can see nothing wrong with this system and hope the vista-bashing-happy lunatics who have previously written such abysmal reviews as to bring its consumer rating so low will get a face full of it with SP1.
