Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate

Advantages: Beautiful Interface
Disadvantages: Over Security, Not Compatible with many software and hardware

...after filling the serial number, because restart process done automatically as well as boot manager that is created automatically through the installation process be completed. Interface: Beautiful After the installation is finished, I started entering for the first time in the environment of Windows Vista Ultimate. And the difference the first time I see when entering the Windows Vista is replaced its "start" button that we usually find in Windows XP with the button that picture image of Microsoft logo. And some other different features that can not be found in Windows XP is Windows Side Bar where we can see the clock and calendar, and other gadgets that are located on the right side of the desktop. The other different thing from the Windows Vista is skin that is now black, and cannot set or change into other colors. But the most...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

New bottle, old Wine, microsoft windows vista home basic

Advantages: Easy to use, improved features
Disadvantages: Find out

...windows vista home basic Operating System. This is one of six Microsoft's new version of Operating System. Users can install it to a Windows or Macintosh based Computer, along with upgrading from the previous xp versions. A Computer user interface, is the graphics, the layout of the software program. In simple terms it is what the user can see on the screen. The home version that I am reviewing in comparison to my existing xp home Computer Operating System seems as the name suggests to offer just the basic new features. Is it any good? The start button is smaller and squarer than that in xp home. The design based on what you see on the Desktop screen is far clearer and more professional from a design and quality perspective. Upon running the start menu, there is a Search Toolbar that enables fast browsing and access. Also...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic

Windows 7 - it makes Vista look like a beta

Advantages: smooth, quick, easy to install and use, pretty to look at, simplified for the masses
Disadvantages: Vista should have been like this - Microsoft robbed us!

...Windows 7 makes Windows Vista feel like a beta. That?s my philosophy. It was my philosophy before I bought Windows 7 and it?s still my philosophy now. That?s where the ?it looks like Vista? comments come from. Windows 7 is Vista without all the rubbish. Everything people moaned about in vista is gone (or improved) and 7 is more spangly and all singing and dancing. It looks better, runs more smoothly and is simple to use. You might even say its been dumbed down for the masses. Simplified. It?s a pleasure to use. It loads more quickly than Vista and is aesthetically pleasing as it does so. The first thing to note is the ease with which it installed. For those of us brave enough to install our own operating systems (and re-install every so often to keep it fresh), we all know the pain and misery that it can lead too, but I have to say...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

Windows 7: Is what Microsoft is saying really true?

Advantages: Runs really fast, Some very good features, any decent machine can run it.
Disadvantages: The Price. It looks like vista and it really is just a brush up on the old OS

...Windows 7 has been said by Microsoft as being much improved and everyone would be happy with the end result. But is it really better, below is my review of a few sections which I believe is most important and compare it to older versions. Speed: 9/10 Much faster than Vista. To compare with the Vista OS, on Vista it took around 30 secs to 45 secs to boot up and log me in. Now on Windows 7 it takes 20 - 30 secs to boot up. Shut down is also so much faster. Vista = 15 secs... Windows 7 = 5 secs..... So there is a huge improvement. Also when running programs or browsing the internet you feel like this Operating System is very smooth and just does what you want (most of the time) Program Compatablilty: 8/10 Most Programs that run on Vista will run on Windows 7 (32-bit) very well. Though (64-bit) has a few problems such as many...

Review of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic/Premium

Advantages: If you have the hardware, the speed will be amazing.
Disadvantages: If your not using a 64bit system. Only thing you will see different is the design.

...Well, are you thinking of getting vista? Well a few things you might want to know before you decide. Vista home basic is well, basic. Maybe suitable for the basic user who has no idea how there pc is working. Its security is regarded by Microsoft as the best yet. Maybe so, but when things go wrong, because its basic, the recovery tools to fix your system without losing everything is next to nothing, hence Basic. If you do chose to buy vista, I would recommend buying Home Premium as that has everything you need to keep your windows sweet & secure. If any problems, crashes or data lass happens. It has good recovery tools to make sure the loss is kept to the minimum. Windows Vista is a powerful windows. Everything is designed for high quality graphics & style. So, if your pc has limited memory & CPU power, you?re going to have...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic

Windows Vista

Advantages: it looks nice
Disadvantages: it is unreliable and unpredictable

..., along with various other informative ones and also games and other things to entertain you whilst you work, or whatever else it is you do on your pc. This side bar tends to make it run slower however and I have resorted to disabling it as although it is a nice addition to the desktop it is a pain when I am trying to do things and it runs the laptop slower. As well as the widgets everything has had a makeover, all the boxes and menu's, including icons, and I think that it is a big improvement. The new look of Windows is a much needed refreshment of the old XP as that was starting to get boring, I particularly like the little thumbnail boxes you get pop up when you move the cursor over the open pages/folders you have minimised in the task bar. In short I feel that Microsoft has out done themselves when it comes to the cosmetics of Vista...

Windows Vista Build 5308

Advantages: New Programs
Disadvantages: Security Box pops up alot

...Windows Vista Build 5308 is the first build that is nearly feature complete. It's also the first build that allows testers to install the five major flavors of Vista that will be offered when the OS ships: Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, and Windows Vista Ultimate. (We've all heard this.) The research for this story was based on Windows Vista Ultimate. Microsoft has not released a features-comparison table that shows what's offered (or not offered) in the various Vista SKUs. It's going to take people like me a while to install all those flavors and figure out what's different. Morevoer, even if we had the comparison data right now, there's every possibility that it could change in the final versions of Vista. What does "nearly feature complete" mean, and is this...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

Windows Vista Home Premium

Advantages: Speed, Durabliity, Function, less memory use & ease of Use
Disadvantages: Some product in-compatible

...Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium is far better that any version of windows I have used, to start at the beginning the installation is more automated and easier, making a quicker installation, although in my opinion I would not recommend an upgrade, but moreover a clean install, I would also recommend you installing Microsoft compatibility software, which can be downloaded from their website. If there is incompatible software, its a nightmare to remove and correct, i.e. when I first installed I did a direct upgrade only to find my SATA drives (64 bit incompatibility only) and Zone Alarm Internet Security was incompatible (later editions compatible, except when running 64 bit architecture). Some Software after the direct upgrade could not be removed as the Install/Uninstall programs had been removed by the upgrade (These...

Review of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

Windows Vista.

Advantages: Looks good, Lots of different programmes.
Disadvantages: Hard to get used too.

...Windows Vista Layout: The layout of Windows Vista is very sleek but it is quite complicated to get used to at first! The desktop layout can be changed to a variety of colours to make it more personal to the user, and I think that this is a good adaptation to other Windows programmes. On the main desktop, you can choose to have features such as an anologe clock, the date in bold, and the temoerature in your area, all of these features can be disabled if you do not want to use them. Windows Vista Programmes: The programmes that come with Windows Vista are 'Voice Recognition', a variety of games, Windows Calender, amongst otheres. The Voice recognition programme lets you speak to the computer instead of having to type and click on what you want to do! The downside is that you have to go through a long winded tortourial...
