Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating:     Summary: Don't Do It...... Comment: I think I have upgraded every Windows version since 3.0, I just cannot believe that this is the hardest one yet. Background on my system: running a dual-core Intel w/ 4GB of RAM and TONS (over 2TB) of disk space. Background on me: I am a former network admin who now works in my company's programming department writing SQL code all day long. Have tried to load the upgrade on a fresh 500GB drive at least 12 times now. It completely crashed every time but one.
The one time it did not crash Vista booted with a black screen and only showed my mouse pointer. Googled that problem and found that it is very common. Only thing is, no one really seems to know the cause. For some people it is the video card, for others it was a smallish HDD (usually a particular Samsung model). Others..... (you get the idea) Bought a new $250 Nvidia video card, same problem. Tried to re-install 4 times after this problem, back to constant crashing during the upgrade.
Have re-installed XP Pro. Was hoping that Vista did a better job with my RAM management but looks like I will never know now. Have been using Microsoft products since the DOS 3.x days but I have to say that if I were to go buy a new computer right now, I would be leaning towards a Mac (now that it runs UNIX).
I read so many other reviews about how bad the upgrade was and thought that there was no way it could be worse than the older ones. Believe them; it really is as bad as they say. In my opinion, if you really want Vista, buy it on a new PC. DO NOT waste tons of time trying to upgrade from XP like I have.
