First impressions very favourable. On my 1Gb RAM system, Vista seems more responsive than XP. MS Money, Word, Mail, IE7 all seem to load faster and respond faster. I find that the whole feel of Vista is slicker than XP, and the Aero interface is sweet. The upgrade from XP was smooth (but make sure you back up, clean up and defrag first!).
I particularly like the inbuilt backup facility - at last a backup programme that I can just set & forget. Vista Media Center has some nice improvements over XP Media Center. And the ability to search your whole computer quickly from any window is terrific. No more annoying puppies!

Recommended, but I don't suggest you try it if you have less than 1Gb RAM and a 256Mb graphics card.

Vista Runs Perfect On My System, Looks Nice As Well. Well worth the money.
Note, My PC Is A 1.92 GHZ Dual Core With 1024mb RAM. So you don't really need a fancy computer to run it well either..

5 Stars.
