Strengths: good support, updates

Weaknesses: it's microsoft, whatever.

Summary: The only reason I'm writing this is to let you know that you can get the 64 bit version for $10 directly from microsoft. It's worth it.

Strengths: Easy to install. Fast display. Great Graphics.

Weaknesses: No bells and whistle.

Summary: I bought this to use on my iMac Intel with Boot Camp and MAC OS X Leopard. Installation went very smoothly the first time and took about 40 minutes, give and take.Display is much improved from Win XP. Boots up quickly and shuts down in a couple of seconds: Amazing. Theme tune is refreshing after having used the old Windows XP tune!I only use this occasionally right now as I wanted it for my Nokia N800 updates. Have not done anything else with itIf anyone needs bells and whistles then I would suggest you try the Premium Vista.Good Luck to all of you. I like it so far. No crashes yet.

Strengths: The product is fast with great 3D effects, great selection of software

Weaknesses: Will not save files on a flash drive, but will open files off of a flash drive.

Summary: The product will require more RAM when running on Parallels Desktop on a Mac. It is a great addition to the Windows operating system family, but the only reason that I run Windows is because of the selection of software available.
