Summary: Vista Ultimate
Comment: This, being a bargain, was the original version. I had to do quite a bit of updating to make it current. However, I am happy with the cost, the delivery, and even VISTA! I had read a lot of bad, but I really like it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Is this supposed to be an improvement?
Comment: I have countless issues with Vista Ultimate-without Service Pack 1. My "Vista-certified" hardware is always having trouble functioning. Downloading new drivers has proved futile. I fix one problem, and then another shows up. I thought this was supposed to be an improvement over XP? What a downer... Get a Mac, they work far better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not what you want
Comment: They took away all the things you were used to and replaced it with slowness. Why???
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great OS, only one compliant
Comment: There are some quirks to Vista. It's not always very intuitive either. But then again all things have some learning curve to them. Generally I have been very happy with Vista. If I had to guess why there are so many problems with other users is they use Vista as an upgrade, not bothering to flattening/formatting their hard drives and beginning afresh. There are plenty of tips that can be found online to solve most problems otherwise and most of these tips are just familiarizing people with Vista.
The only real compliant I have about Vista Ultimate, and maybe all the Vistas, is that although you are listed as the administrator, you're a protected administrator without true full rights. I used Spybot SnD and it would not allow me to remove all the adaware because I was not a true administrator. Only after unlocking the full rights and logging on the true administrator could I remove them. YUCK and what a pain.

Summary: went back to xp -- forget trying to do pro audio with vista!
Comment: do not buy this.
fewer software/hardware companies really care enough to release working drivers for vista because they know its a flop.
i got this with a laptop, and i wish i had the option to take xp, but certain laptop manufacturers are in bed with microsoft.
dont be an annoying jerk and need to impress others with how much like a mac your pc looks. you want to use a computer because it works, not so you can pretend you are doing stuff and look like a moron who paid too much for their equipment... (like a big portion of mac users are!)
i went back to xp and didnt look back! dont be fooled by the nicer looking solitaire game and whatnot. believe me, its not worth it.
forget doing pro audio on vista, by the way. you will meet only frustration.
