Windows vista ultamite is just pure excrement, aka mojave, I said wow when I noticed the swarms of bugs in this software. Bill Gates hasalways been snickety, and now it's showing, 5 years, a piece of gold like XP, to pure excrement like vista, and the ultimate edition is worse than the premium or basic, and cost 6 times more. The most important problem is the overall speed while using the system, it takes an insane amount of resources to just open up the computer option, and since when was 1gb a supercomputers memory? The internet connection is pure -234, it will even crash your system, pop up microsft supported adds, and take an hour to clear up from not responding, and when you do get a connection it's 2 bars or less. The file download =, transfer rate is more excrement, taking hours to download files, or just doesn't download them, or corrupts the hell out of them so much that there almost like a virus, or they are lost after the journey download. THE TORRENT rate is even more excrement, the simplest youtube videos keep buffeting and loading and are still poor qaulity, the system sound is as loud as the baa of a sheep, and the multimedia support is crap. The system is not backwards compatible, and even if the game seems to install it's either corrupted the d-mn hell or not even there, and them lieing saying it did is total bulls99t. The firewall and security is more annoying than a bunch of rebellios immature kids ditching school and the programs are toilets, this stripped down sh9999y system is going in the toilet, thank GOd for Xp.

If you like a slow, incompatable computer, and making remote support nearly impossible, this OS is for you. XP is an upgrade by comparison.

I continued using XP as long as I thought I could before installing Vista in December, 2008. I intentionally purchased the original retail release without SP1 just to say I had the same experiences as the original purchasers a year or so ago. The package arrived from Microidea, the outside seller, on time, as promised. I give Microidea 5 stars as a reseller, would buy from them again without reservation and can recommend Microidea to other Amazon customers. I'm a little more experienced than many retail users and I knew what to do with the original Vista release. It took a couple hours to monkey with to get up and running after searching for the continuous reboot and other issues that required web searches to locate fixes. If you're a relatively novice user, however, I would seriously recommend paying the extra $20 or so to get the version sith SP1 incorporated in the DVD. After upgrading to the SP1 download, I can report that all the things that people complain about with Vista are still waiting in the hedgerows to ambush you. Maybe the world will be lucky and Windows 7 will have settings so that applications I install will be able to open & operate without the user account "grey screen of annoyance" permission request.
