Microsoft Windows Vista Business Review Summary

Our community is evenly divided about Microsoft’s newest Operating System for business users, Vista Business. Some reviewers praised Vista Business, with one stating, "I believe Windows Vista Business will be to Windows XP, what that OS was to Windows 98: a quantum leap forward." While still another reviewer stated: "Worst Windows ever." Microsoft designed Vista Business to replace Windows XP Professional in the enterprise environment allowing the computer to be joined to a Windows Server domain. Vista Business offers a plethora of new features including enhanced security and dazzling graphics, but the enriched multimedia features in Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate have been stripped out; read what our community has to say about this product!

Full disclosure:  I worked for Microsoft from 1992 to 1996.  I love the company and have used their products for 15+ years.  I have spent whole weeks of my life learning how to use every nook and crany of the Windows and Office Suite.

Microsoft Vista is a decent operating system, however it has major drawbacks that make Windows XP Pro a much better OS.  First off, there is far too much required, just to install and run Vista.  This means that most people who want to run it will either need to update their harware (if they know how)... read full review »

Bottom-Line: Will Microsoft Vista be worth the wait?  I think so. Microsoft has worked hard to get this one right, especially from a security standpoint and it shows. 

I think it is safe to say that more has been written about Microsoft Windows Vista, the company's new Operating System (OS), than any other OS in history.  The highly marked and hyped Windows Vista started replacing the now long in the tooth Windows XP in November 2006 for Enterprise clients, and this month for the general public.

Upon starting a new job my laptop had Vista loaded and from there my problems began. I have spend hours on the phone with software companies that I had used on my other Windows XP Professional system because Vista security was so tight. I would caution new users to wait a little while longer before purchasing vista to allow the system to be refined further.

Upgraded from XP.  On a domain, no user accounts were transferred.  No network shares or printers as well.  Be careful.  Nice look on an LCD monitor.  So much user security built in, that it took me hours to disable every message about "are you sure you want to do this".

Windows Vista is absolutely horrible, it's slower than XP, buggier than XP, takes up way more hard drive space, and has to ask you permission every time you launch a non-microsoft program.  Stick with XP!!!
