    This is Microsoft latest and greatest and is worth moving up to if you have a modern PC. If you have an ancient one, then you might not want to bother unless you are willing to upgrade it. Most people complain that Vista takes too many resources to run and that is true. But so what? XP used more resources than ME, 2000 or 98. This is how advancing technology works.
    Pros: DX10, Aero, Bitlocker, UAC, Good multimonitor support
    Cons: Needs a modern PC to run.

    If you want or need to see the latest OS from Microsoft, get Windows Ultimate, but, if you can hold off, Windows XP will be adequate you for a while. I am sure Windows Home Premium will be okay as well, but you do not get the Backup and Restore feature that you get with Ultimate. Restore from Backup is relatively quick if you have a fast computer and External Drive as is the initial backup. Do not pay dollar for what ever OS that you buy. Compare prices online!
    Pros: Excellent graphics if you have the right video card. Fun switching between windows with the new Flip 3D. Fun and useful gadgets. Great Backup system if you have an external drive.
    Cons: Memory intensive, so buy as much RAM as you can. Security questions with almost every application and operation that you run.

    I’ve tried Ultimate Ears, Sleek, and most of these products through the years, and have had the same issues over and over: the bass is just too weak unless and until I turn it up very loud, then it’s still not strong but almost audible but if I have them in long amounts of time, it’s loud enough that my top end is shot. Great way to improve the bass, by killing your highs in your ears!! And now with these “new improved” ones? Seems like it’s still the same old thing in a pretty new box. Yea it’s loud. And shrill. Why should I believe them this time?. And it’s exactly the same technology in my grandfather’s old hearing aids according to most of the articles I read. The biggest breakthrough there is you don’t hear the whistling noise Gramp’s hearing aids make when he sticks his hands over his ears. I wonder if the one with the cellphone attachment will provide that feature too…Seems like top fire is top hype to me.
