For the person who wants one operating system that is great for working from home, working on the road, and for entertainment, Windows Vista Ultimate is a no-compromise operating system that lets you have it all.

Easier, Faster Access to Information
Windows Vista Ultimate features Windows Aero, a new interface that delivers higher levels of efficiency for any business user. This easy-to-use interface makes it a snap to navigate through the operating system and from application to application. Most importantly, Windows Aero helps you juggle multiple tasks at once by providing a three-dimensional, real-time, animated view of all your open applications and documents. And for those businesses that do work in other countries, Windows Vista Ultimate supports all worldwide interface languages.

Breakthrough Windows Vista Experience
Designed to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and to control your computing experience, all editions of Windows Vista introduce a breakthrough user experience. The visual sophistication of Windows Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently.

Work From Home
Windows Vista Ultimate includes all of the features that make it easy to remotely connect to business networks. This means that when you're working from home, you'll have advanced networking capabilities, such as the ability to join a domain, support for Group Policy, and access to features such as Remote Desktop. Windows Vista Ultimate also includes Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption that provides improved levels of protection against theft for your important business data whether you are at home, on the road, or in the office.

More Entertainment Options
Windows Vista Ultimate delivers all of the entertainment features available in Windows Vista Home Premium, and includes everything you need to enjoy the latest in digital photography, music, movies, analog TV, or even HDTV. Ultimate also has helpful tools such as Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker to ensure that you have everything you need to collect, manage, and edit your digital content. It also includes Windows Media Center for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center.

Versatile Operation
Windows Vista Ultimate truly lives up to its name by delivering all of the features both business and home users want and need. It is the ideal solution for both a small-business owner who wants a single PC that he or she can use at the office, on the road, and at home, and for someone who wants a home PC that will be used primarily for entertainment purposes but that can also be used for business purposes such as connecting to a corporate network.

Vista Ultimate:

This, being a bargain, was the original version. I had to do quite a bit of updating to make it current. However, I am happy with the cost, the delivery, and even VISTA! I had read a lot of bad, but I really like it.

Is this supposed to be an improvement?:

I have countless issues with Vista Ultimate-without Service Pack 1. My "Vista-certified" hardware is always having trouble functioning. Downloading new drivers has proved futile. I fix one problem, and then another shows up. I thought this was supposed to be an improvement over XP? What a downer... Get a Mac, they work far better.

Not what you want:

They took away all the things you were used to and replaced it with slowness. Why???

Great OS, only one compliant:

There are some quirks to Vista. It's not always very intuitive either. But then again all things have some learning curve to them. Generally I have been very happy with Vista. If I had to guess why there are so many problems with other users is they use Vista as an upgrade, not bothering to flattening/formatting their hard drives and beginning afresh. There are plenty of tips that can be found online to solve most problems otherwise and most of these tips are just familiarizing people with Vista.
