I am getting a new P.C this week with Windows Vista Ultimate, I have been been told it is very good, why knock it? before you try it

Because it makes your system slow and I've read on many authentic forums and blogs that windows xp is more secure than windows vista.

From what I've read up about it, it's big brother under cover of a sparkly interface. It's designed to enable software and media manufacturers to control the way you use their sofware and media. This means if you buy an song, for example, they could decide it could only be played on one media player and they could even decide they didn't want you to listen to it at all. There's nothing you could do about it and Vista would back them up. This method can apply to any software or media and Vista makes it much easier to enforce. Just look up "Trusted computing" or "DRM". In my opinion it's very dangerours giving a company like Microsoft so much power. Imagine only being able to run Microsoft approved software and hardware. That's what Vista will bring. They're calling it "added security features" - for them, not you.

You are correct.
Most people have never used it & its human nature for some (NOT ALL ... I can see all the thumbs down votes already) to knock something because they can't or don't have it.
It makes them feel better about having to live with an older version of Windows.
That said ... I've been using it for a while now & although I think it's great & I really like it I am rather annoyed & concerned about certain facts explained in this article :
What's on my PC (non Microsoft ) is none of their business .....
Read this article & be amazed & what we've come to.

Because Microsoft have given control of Vista, and therefore your computer, to corporate interests in Hollywood and beyond. Functionality can be disabled remotely by companies like Disney and Universal without your knowledge or consent, and you can even lose control of your own media, again without your consent. Vista is an anti-consumer OS and should be avoided at all costs.

Vista is very slow,It needs very high configuration.
The most important thing is that it does,nt recognize Usb drives and many Softwares like Nero

I guess it could be nice, but my biggest problem with it is the amount of CPU and memory that it wants to hog. If I have a nice processor, I have it to do stuff other than run the system.
