Firstly, almost everyone says that upgrading from xp is a bad idea and i should do a clean install. This is not an option in my case since i have a lot of programs installed and i dont want to spend an entire week backing up and reinstalling them again.
My laptops config is -
Core Duo 2 ghz
1 gb ram
ge force go 7600 (128 vram)
5400 rom sata hd
The vista upgrade advisor says it will have problems with my sound card and bluetooth.
Will this setup give a reasonable performance with Windows Vista?
I have heard from a lot of people that Vista is super slow and that the nvidia drivers are way too buggy right now.
So with all these comments I am a little afraid to go ahead with the upgrade.
What is your opinion?
Out of curiousity, where are the "negative reviews" from?
Here are a couple of them -
This one in channel 9 itself -

This one doesnt look too good either -

On the other hand, I would love to see some positive reviews of Windows Vista
