What Customers Say About Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 Upgrade [OLD VERSION]:

But upgrading from XP, to Vista, and then to Windows 7 SP1 makes a lot of sense.I have used Windows since 1991. The biggest problem with this release is the Ultimate Extras program. But the question is -- do you need the Ultimate edition.Vista Ultimate includes a number of features that make your computer more powerful. Bitlocker -- not available in Home Premium -- protects your personal files in case your computer is lost or stolen. I have been using Vista for 18 months. Microsoft promised to deliver special upgrades available only to Ultimate users.

The Windows Backup feature is a 2 step process - set it and forget it, and with Ultimate you can even backup over a network to a remote disk. Add to that advanced networking features, the full Windows Media Center experience for using your computer to record TV shows, and you have an operating system that does so much more than XP or any other edition of Vista, right out of the box.Vista Ultimate isn't perfect. In any event, I wouldn't want to upgrade from XP to 7 directly -- it's a hassle. I know this because Vista Ultimate includes a Reliability Monitor, to record every time there's a problem with the system, to help you diagnose issues.

If you're thinking of going for the Ultimate just for these Extras, then think again and get Home Premium or Business. There are a few games, some system sounds. Windows XP was nowhere near as reliable as Vista, and XP has far fewer features. In fact, I'm not sure I want to risk upgrading to Windows 7 before they release the first Service Pack (SP1) for Windows 7.

Vista is by far the easiest and most stable version of Windows to date. The upgrade to Vista is totally worth it. No one but you can read the files on the disk, because Bitlocker encrypts your entire disk. and that's about it.

I have enjoyed Vista tremendously in the year and a half that I've used it. It has crashed exactly three times, and two of those were power failures. Bitlocker works perfectly and is easy to set up.

The product was as advertised and shipped quickly. Was a great value for the money.

I've been using it regularly for a couple of months now with no problems. I installed Vista Ultimate and it really sped up my computer's boot time. I read the negative reviews of Windows Vista and was skeptical about using it. I was using Windows XP Pro and it was running really slow on my Lenovo laptop. I'm not sure why, as I am not a computer guy, but that it did is indisputable.

I was trying to upgrade on a HP PAVILION m9515y PC with VISTA PREMIUM TO ULTAMATE. I tryed installing it each way possiable, but could not keep any of the HP Installed Programs/Software.

Amazon did refund my money, even though the product was opened. It won't UPGRADE from Vista Premium to Ultamate as advertized.

It only does a Ultamate Complete INSTALL. The discription on the Box is very misleading about UPGRADING.

I had to return the product. After installing it, it wiped out all of the Programs & Software that HP had put in the machine.

So I had to go back and do a Factory Restore to Premium with the Restore Disk's I made with the machine originally.

I have tried 3 times to install and receive the message after it tries to finish the install of "Windows could not configure 1 or more system components. My new Dell XPS i7-920 processer has Vista Home Premium and I need to upgrade to Ultimate. Restart computer and then restart the installation" BUT, still does not work.So, can not rate product however site requires min one star.
