The product was as advertised and shipped quickly. Was a great value for the money.
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've been using it regularly for a couple of months now with no problems.
The discription on the Box is very misleading about UPGRADING. It won't UPGRADE from Vista Premium to Ultamate as advertized.
I was trying to upgrade on a HP PAVILION m9515y PC with VISTA PREMIUM TO ULTAMATE. I had to return the product.
It only does a Ultamate Complete INSTALL. After installing it, it wiped out all of the Programs & Software that HP had put in the machine.
I tryed installing it each way possiable, but could not keep any of the HP Installed Programs/Software. So I had to go back and do a Factory Restore to Premium with the Restore Disk's I made with the machine originally.
Amazon did refund my money, even though the product was opened.
My new Dell XPS i7-920 processer has Vista Home Premium and I need to upgrade to Ultimate. 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. Restart computer and then restart the installation" BUT, still does not work.So, can not rate product however site requires min one star.
I installed this over a copy of Vista Home edition not long after upgrading the motherboard and processor. If it ain't broke.It's not a priority upgrade over XP but it's got some nice features and it's attractive. I am still not really sure what Aero does for me (except give me an occasional bunch of diagonal windows to choose from).
are plugged in during the installation. The thing is pretty stable after it screws around with drivers and updates for a couple of days. Vista Ultimate does not like to be installed if a lot of peripheral USB devices; camera, memory readers, memory sticks, camera bases etc.
The CD/DVD burner support works adequately. I just pulled them out and it installed very cleanly for me. Then I reinstalled these devices one at a time and Vista is very graceful about going out on the web and getting the right device driver.
It's nice getting the 64 bit disk with the 32 bit version but it requires a clean install, it is not an upgrade. It has been pretty easy to live with - MS has got most of the pain removed.
