Title: Windows ME all over again!
Product review: Fist, I'm no beginner and my system is an HP with a fast Duo Athlon processor, 3gb of ram and Vista preinstalled by the factory.If you were unfortunate enough to remember WindowsME then you know why Vista is only getting 1 star, they are equally as bug-ridden. I have been using Windows since 3.0 and have used every flavor with mixed success. I know how to tweak settings and manually steamline a Windows OS. Vista is not cooperative. It's top heavy with pretty blingy glitz that hogs system recourses and slows even the best behaved applications to a crawl. Then there's the issue that not all software is compatible or works properly in the new OS. Worse, even after turning off most every feature I could including indexing, Vista still engaged in computer-freezing disk writes that lasted for 10's of minutes at a time for no apparent reason; Microsoft help is at a loss to explain. Vista is bloatware of the worst kind and is no more safe than XP. Avoid it if at all possible!
