Title: Awful. Just awful.
Product review: My parents just bought a new PC laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium, and they asked me to help set it up (uninstall bloatware, configure for their DSL, set up anti-virus, etc.). I'm not an IT technician, but I would consider myself medium-to-advanced in PC experience. I was excited to try Vista out, but found myself confounded by the lack of user-friendliness Vista presented me. The security warnings are OVERWHELMING.... Setting up McAfee Anti-Virus was a NIGHTMARE.... Endless hoops to accomplish a simple install, exponentially more complicated than on XP. If you've seen the Mac vs PC commercials about the security warnings, you get the idea. No exaggeration... Frankly, there just doesn't seem to be much advantage from my (or my parent's) perspective using Vista over XP. Bottom line, if we they could have gotten XP installed instead of Vista, I would have suggested it in a heartbeat. I hope there are fixes in the near future...
