Hey Mennonite Village: Sorry you're having trouble upgrading to Windows Vista; if you've not done so yet, I'd suggest you check out the upgrade tool located at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/, as it may well help you pinpoint the issue you're experiencing. Further, you can also look for installation support at sites such as ttp://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/. Hope this helps.

another problem, the upgrade process is a bomb.

programs don't work, IE 7 won't even run. every time I boot up I have to fix the display settings.

What a joke.

One part of the user experience in Windows Vista is the "sticker shock."

What would really be a cool comparison chart that you will never see is Windows XP Professional vs. Windows Vista Business because many features of the former are no longer available at less than $399 US retail in Ultimate. The same is true of Windows XP Media Center 2005 because it is really Windows XP Professional with Media Center components added.

So what has really happened is that Microsoft has dropped a big price increase by crippling Windows Vista Home Basic and Windows Vista Business. I know that this won’t mean much to most people. But I purchased Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional, and then upgraded to Windows XP Professional. Now I have no choice but to upgrade to Utimate because Business doesn’t have all of the features I use.

Seems like a good idea, more third party drivers on Windows Update, more information sharing between Microsoft and Third party vendors on driver problems. Hopefully this will give the end user a better experience, and make third party vendors support their hardware better!

I guess we will have to see if this plan works out in the real world.
