"Patience.... A better name you"ll wait for everything"
Pros: You will have time to do other things while you wait for the system to start up, open a program, or the longest wait for sure shutting down. It convinced me to try a MAC and I love it.
Cons: SLOW. Trouble loading software. Block start up programs, it annoyingly reminds you forever. Blue screens of death and random shut downs. Do something, it asks you if you really want to do it way to often. Robs you of the beauty of the computer speed.
Summary: I've been using Vista, it think it is going o... read more

Windows Defender: better then no antispyware.

Summary: Well i just noticed that some of Vista's anno... read more

Pros: It feels fast during surfing , due to the new RAM capabilities 4GB MIN and up to 128 GB (that's a difference), and the system is very secure.

Lack of knowledge on their Non-American-Base customer service team.Summary: The new operating system seems not very exiti... read more

Pros: It is definately more secure than XP2.
Cons: Extremly difficult to transfer files from XP2. Many of my photo's are not supported. Seems like photo's on the CD did not have the right codes. I cannot open the windows task launcher. It has an error mssage, Instructions to set the D.E.P. are vague.
Summary: I am very disappointed with the product. It's... read more

"With advertising Microsoft can sell anything, i.e. JUNK"
Pros: Relatively cheap (but costs much more than its worth) A real "pro" is that anybody running XP can save money by keeping it and not buying VISTA . XP is s much better product. XP to Vista is retrograde evolution!!
Cons: Everything!! All laptops wo 1gig of memory, poor performance, most programs won't run under vista.
Summary: I assumed with Vista my computer would boot f... read more
