I installed Vista Home Basic Upgrade on my Dell Inspiron 1300 notebook last night. It took a few hours, considering I had to download a bunch of dell drivers prior to installing, then updating after installation for compatability. I had no erros during install, so that was nice.. it was relatively smooth upgrade. I don't have much for apps on my PC but the only compatability issue I had was with Norton Internet Security 2007.. they directed me to a website to download a driver to make it compatable... after dumping and re-installing, everything is working fine.

As for Vista itself.. I don't have the full vista experience, but I don't mind it so far. It's a mac rip-off for sure, but that doesn't bother me like it does for some. The apperance is nice and sleek. Microsoft made Vista very personalizable (is that a word?) which is good because you get the most out of your OS.

Just my two cents so far.... seems pretty decent.

I'm using vista premium now.

I'm not so excited about it yet.

Maybe in a couple of days I'll like it a little more.

Mine is running pretty smoothly now. It did take me a couple days to work out some compatibility issues and update certain drivers, but it's running fine now.

I am actually typing all of this with my voice, pretty neat feature, a little buggy but that is to be expected. Try it out to when you have some free time.

Still all kinds of problems with Vista here.

Printer drivers, Roxio, iTunes, spell check in windows mail and some antivirus software issues.(Just to name a few.)

IMO this was released way before it was ready to go.

Thanks Bill!

I now want to kick you in the nads! Phag!

Don't fear G1GY.

He uses hand lotion.

I have vista ultimate on my computer, seems to be working fine. Not as polished as xp pro, but if I recall correctly, this was/is a much easier transition than 98se to XP was. I don't think I'll put it on my work computer just yet, but for home use... i'm fairly pleased.
