Vista 64

I have yet to install this product, so I will update my review when I do.

Delivery of this item occurred two days after its purchase. The product came in a sealed box and was of excellent condition. The product is as advertised.

Closing remarks: great service, exceptional delivery time.

Avoid like the plague. No wait, this is worse.

This OS does not work with 99% of all hardware devices due to its mandatory driver signing policy. This means that a hardware device and/or driver that does not implement DRM cannot be certified and therefore used with this OS. If you can, get the 32-bit version instead. Or better yet, get XP.

I wish I got 32 bit Vista instead.

It is a good operating system, and updates have fixed more then a few problems, but before buying this I did not realize that quite a number of programs did not support 64 bit windows. I wanted to use the zonealarm firewall and spyware doctor, but they're not supported on this. I thought 64 bit would be better than 32 bit (which it is in some ways) but not enough software is supported on it. So I would suggest that you stick with 32 bit vista (or XP) for now.

P.S I did not have any problems with PC games working on it, they worked just fine, even Oblivion did.

Not for Boot Camp Macs with OS 10.4

This rating is for the package, not the OS itself.

Just a warning...this will NOT WORK CORRECTLY if you plan to install using Boot Camp on your 64 bit Mac. It will install, but as of OS 10.4, many of the drivers are only supported by the 32 bit version of Windows Vista (so get that!). Parallels can not handle 64 bit either. Just a warning.
