10/1/2010 9:21:43 PM It is a good computer, however, over time it has slowed down and I'm sure I've picked up viruses. I would like it to be faster and more reliable. I don't want to worry about being spied on anymore either.

2/20/2011 10:56:06 PM I like the Vista OS and have always liked Dell. I should have gottne more memory and larger hard drive as I tend to load up my systme and maybe that slows it down sometimes.

2/26/2010 7:31:31 PM This computer is OK, just OK. The operating system ‘VISTA’ is the worst OS I have ever ‘attempted’ to work with. It is not stable; it is not compatible with older programs that I MUST use for business. Because of ‘VISTA’ I will go to MAC for my next computer.

8/15/2010 7:59:34 AM I think Windows Vista is the problem. Very slow to boot up and bring up any application. The frequent updates are annoying and once started,they totally tie up the computer (often for 15 minutes).
