I use it with my work PC. Windows explorer crashes all the time, problem with running SQL server 2005, and SLOW. I actually prefer running Vista - UI is annoying, but is much more stable running applications. It is a real productivity killer for IT professionals. Also comes with Internet Explorer 8 which crashes all the time. Must reboot the computer every morning due to some security patch download - which takes forever to shutdown & install.

The best OS in the market (from Apple) is $40 to upgrade. How much does this operating system offering for your money? The most if improvement is the User Interface. If you take away UI, it is functionally identical to Vista (which is considered as one of the worst OS in the market) Internet Explorer 8 is also the one of the most memory hungry slow browser you can use. The first time I lunched the browser, system crashed.

I tried the Taxcut this year because Turboax marketing was confusing. This is how I read : Turbotax Basic version does all, but if you want to maximize deduction for home, then you need to get Dlx version. And if you invested in stocks, and interested in maximizing deduction… you need more expensive & better product. What kind of marketing crap is that? Taxcut, single package does it all. Only difference is efiling support and state tax.

Installed about a year ago without any problem on Vista certified hardware. It was running ok with one annoying problem - it was constantly loosing the video settings every time I reboot. Then these wave of security patch start to roll in. I only use the PC for watching blu-ray movies and after installing 100+ security patches, the system is so slow that I cannot finish 90 minutes movies without rebooting the operating system.

I program computers, and we had number of compatibility problems with this OS. MS dropped much of good old DDE, causing number of shell application to crash, including number of uninstall programs.

I have been using turbo tax to file my returns for past 3 years. This year, I went to turbo tax site to select the proper version. The Basic version only does 1040EZ. You own your home, then you are required to buy Deluxe version which is $44.95. Deluxe version does not include investments, so if you are invested in stock market, now you are looking at Premier version for $74.

MS manage to change the Interface again. For existing users of Windows, this beast takes some time to get used to. I find myself constantly looking at help, looking for some stupid menu item. It makes experienced user feels like ignorant as the Windows beginners.nComes with many small programs, but many times, I rather pay for professional software than deal with more of MS [stuff]. All this unwanted features gets in the way of accomplishing my goals.
