I am NOT a computer wiz but I was easily able to load Vista and get it running well. I like the changes to the mail program, much easier now and there are several other areas where small glitches have been removed.

when I'd order my item I sow a totally wrong picture of it they show an original Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit for System Builders [DVD] picture, and they send me a operating system disc that works whit gateway computers only, (used) that was some thing I can not used at all.
Vista Home Ultimate OEM February 28, 2008

I was afraid to jump to Vista after hearing about bugs and the 'new' cumbersome interface. After finding Vista Home Premium OEM on Amazon for $100 I decided to give it a shot. I purchased a video card, so I was complying with the bundled hardware clause for OEM software! All I can say is, if you have trouble with XP, and can run Vista on your machine, do it. I was running XP Pro on an AMD-3500 with 2gigs of ram, 2x GeForce 6800's in SLI, and a 4x80G SATA RAID 0+1 array. I was constantly losing my RAID array, and ruled out everything but drivers and OS. I would have weekly RAID rebuilds. And don't even mention BSOD's, XP has them in spades. Well i can safely say, Vista is not plagued by these woes. IT picked up my RAID setup right away, and i've only crashed it 2x in 3 months, each time due to hard shut downs before the drives sync'd so it just had to rebuild upon reboot. And no more BSOD's, Vista seems to be able to isolate corrupt threads and just kill them. It just kills the offending app and goes back to the desktop. With XP i was used to a BSOD or lock up several times a week. With Vista, i've only had a couple of hard resets needed, and any software crashes, are limted to the application. Vista stays up stable, and ready to just restart the app that crashed. My only vista problem has been static in my sound. Since i'm running an unsupported Mobo, i can only blame myself! I'm investigating my DX10 install, to make sure i have not hosed a driver. Just Do IT!
Excellent choice for Mac users January 23, 2008

I bought this version of Microsoft Vista for my macbook and it works like a charm. Highly recomend it for those mac users who want to have the best of both worlds. Boot camp has clear instructions for the installation, and best of all, you cannot beat this price.
