IMHO, I would say it consumes too much resources - if you upgrade from say, XP, you may find a massive performance decrease. That said, much of this can be rectified by disabling certain graphical features in Vista. However, given that its pretty interface is basically Vista's major strengh, it begs the question - what is the point in upgrading? Aside from all the teething bugs that are inherant with all new versions of a Windows operating system, I would say that the other main issue is the fact that much of the new (useful) features in Vista could, many would say, have been accomplished in an update to XP, rather that having to buy a whole new operating system.

All new operating systems take time to mature. it was the same with the first versin of the windows operating system, and with windows 95 when it came out and with xp when it was new. It takes time to get it up to standard. XP has been through this process and there have been two major service pack releases for it. Now its a great operating system. Vista in comparison is an immature system that is not compatible with a lot of older software and does not have much yet in the way of driver support. If its the physical appearance of vista thats drawing you to it, these effects (including aero) can be achieved in xp.
Have a look at these articles.

my pc is 6 months previous as grew to become into the latest on the marketplace whilst it got here out, yet runs somewhat slower than XP. Vista is getting greater advantageous with updates yet once you install numerous application and hardware like me the driving force blunders are stressful. Microsoft has consistently released OS's that have not been thoroughly comprehensive or they could in no way make money. Vista is extremely graphical oriented and consumer friendly and that's what takes up numerous components. the themes would be fixed at last. look at XP its now on provider %. 3!

People who haven't tried vista and who aren't familiar with computers have a negative view of vista. I've done my research and clearly vista is not a bad operating system. At first there may have been a few bugs but by now that's all cleared up. I'm getting a vista laptop on Saturday and I'll use it for myself. You should too to see what your opinion of it is. Don't take what others say for truth.

It's not that Vista is bad, it's just that there is nothing special about it. The interface is nicer than XP, but there are alot of other issues. Compatibility is slim to none for Vista, and it still has its release bugs, since there is not an SP2 yet. Also, the "improved security" is annoying because it asks you about running every single program, so most people turn it off.
I hope this helps!

the problem is, it's the same with all new systems. it takes time for all the bugs and everything to worked out. With time as new drivers and programs come out, vista will be a good program. Vista, like windows XP will be living to its full potential.
