Rating: - so glad to get rid of vista
this product works great, it is a nice replacement of the default vista that came installed on my laptop. it was a little tricky finding some of the drivers but it was well worth it in the end. it was able to ship nice and quickly and was rather easy to install when it got here.

Rating: - Warning this is not the retail but an OEM edition
There is an important difference when buying software over the counter: it is much more expensive then buying it with a computer. I bought for the company two Dell Vostro systems for roughly 300 USD each and that included normal production desktops for office use and those included Vista Business. So think before you buy because over the counter OS distributions from Windows are expensive.
There is also a support problem when buying this software because it is an OEM edition as you can see on the included product labels, which means if you need support then Microsoft will not help you and refer you back to where you bought it. Not so great.
Also the product lifecycle is ignored here. 2014 may sound far away but most home users have their computers much longer. You will find yourself with a system that is no longer supported by Microsoft with updates after 2014.
WindowsXP Pro is much better then XP Home. Many people have an opinion about this but there are significant differences and we will never deploy an XP Home on our network. Only XP Pro, which is propbably the best version Microsoft made until...
But I have to mention that Vista Business SP1 that we tested recently is stable and as good as the XP SP3 plus some extra's for the users. We are only buying Vista Business at this point. XP Pro may be good and stable but it is an old platform already and Microsoft is focussing on Vista at this point. You have to let go as you did with Windows 2000 Pro which was the best ever distribution a while back if you where running an office network.
I can give you one tip here: If you buy Microsoft OS software then always go for the Business/Pro editions because they are better and contail less software that you don't want anyway. There is so much great free software to give you that other functionality that you do not need to buy an Ultimate version or whatever they will call it in the future.
The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders.
While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic.
But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.
A federal judge has ordered Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to testify in the "Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit, rejecting the company's contention that he knew nothing about changing the hardware requirements for the marketing program.
