It should have been "What do you think of Windows Vista ?" or something like that.
Yeah it might be a wrong title indeed. Anyways I have voted Unknown, Haven't tried it.

Get another pop-up telling me a program is trying to install something on my computer, am I sure I want to do that? (1 Click)

Program finally begins to install. Thats 3 extra clicks, I should just have to open a file and it will start installing.

Also, Aero sucks, my computer is slightly better then the recommenced requirements for Aero and it runs as slow as a dog.

Anyway, I didn't like XP when it first came out, it took me 3 years to install it on my system and now I love it, so in three years time I might revisit Vista.
Just so you know its not Vista that makes the pop ups its your anti virus software and ect, you can turn it off. so dont blame vista for your own things

There's no point in shelling out for Ultimate. I had a look at the feature comparitive charts. Home Premium would suit most people, thats what I'm going for.

It doesn't suck, but it's not great either. Too many things, makes it look cluttered and unneeded. I'm sticking with XP.

the main thing that i hate about vista is that it is DRM infested.
i dont think i will upgrade for a long time, might just switch to linux
even selling my vista business edition that i got for free on ebay lol

My computers are too gutless to run any version of Vista, so no I won't be upgrading from XP Pro. XP Pro has been stable for me for years, only reformatted it once in 5 years (virus).
