So, apparently I got a free copy, and I'm wondering, is Windows Vista Business essentially Windows XP Professional? If so, how does it rate? Is it any good? I'll be using it for non-business purposes, like playing games, and while I was planning on getting Vista or Windows 7 eventually, because I have this free copy, I'm thinking of upgrading for the hell of it. (Though, I'll be installing it on a different harddrive than this one, in case something goes wrong.remmbermytitans
In November 2007 I bought my Compaq PC with Vista Basic on it. In Summer 2008, I decided to upgrade the OS to Vista Business, but then decided to just do a clean install. By doing a clean install, I got an extremely fast, extremely stable system that runs all of my business software, music recording software, web design and graphic software, and all of my games accept for the original GTR Demo. I currently regularly play F.E.A.R, Crysis, HL2 Deathmatch, HALO1, and particularly GTR Evolution, which claims to have little Vista support. I'm running a Thrustmaster Racing Wheel/Pedal set that auto installed and auto calibrated without any problems on Vista. In short, Vista Business is an excellent Business OS as well as an excellent gaming OS, as long as you make sure that all of your hardware has drivers that support Vista. Since my PC came with Vista, I haven't had any problems with it.
