Title: UPGRADE could really be a DOWNGRADE
Product review: I checked online that my HP computer was compatible with the Vista Upgrade and decided to go for it. The upgrade install itself went smoothly. Now, I have a machine that works but usually has to be shut down by on-off switch - the shut-down choice leaves my machine "shutting down" all night. The screen savers don't work (I had screen savers with Windows XP - I think Vista doesn't like my video card), none of my Roxio software works (including Media Creator 9 which says it works with Vista), the new Aero feature doesn't work (I think Vista still doesn't like my video card), and web sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble that used to happily let me listen to music clips can no longer find my Windows Media Player. The Vista Windows gadgets are a plus but the rest of my experience rates the UPGRADE to Vista as a DOWNGRADE in my computer's functionality.
