Any thoughts on Vista?
I am hoping someone out there who is an expert in the field could break down the benefits / disadvantages to the new Microsoft Vista product. Until today I had no personal experience with it, but was well aware that many of my machines, and or software (i.e. UPS Worldship software) were not compatible with Vista. We have had to hang on to a few old machines to run certain programs.
I am just curious if anyone out there can enlighten the rest of us on Vista, and let us know if we should abandon it immediately, or stick with it. How long will it take everyone to catch up with compatible products (i.e. Quicken Quick Books, did not have a Vista compatible version last time I checked) I do apologize as the majority of my knowledge on the subject comes from the TV Commercial series or PC vs. Mac, obviously with Mac winning the game.
I am personally getting ready to replace my old Dell laptop with a Mac. I have toyed with them a bit in stores, and on a friend’s laptop, and think I am ready for the change.Â

Here’s some feedback on Vista, my webmail isn’t compatible with Vista, after opening about 20 sub windows in Internet Explorer no more windows open up, instead i have to completely reboot my laptop and start again, my DVD player doesn’t work anymore for some reason, can’t play music or DVD’s, my Internet Explorer shuts of very often and reboots on it’s own. Overall, not to happy with Vista, i’m really thinking about getting an Apple and trying out Leopard.

I have recently switched and so far I don’t have any complaints. It is always a pain to move your old software/files to a new computer, not sure that Vista made much of a difference for that. I will tell you that I am a fan of the new Microsoft Office. The enhancements in outlook, excel & word have won me over!
