tips? yeah
Well first of all i don't suggest using ie for safe browsing, firefox or opera can be much better.
Be sure to install an appropriate anti-virus and anti-spyware before anything, for me avira antivir personal and spybot search and destroy worked great.
If you do have the anti-virus and anti-spyware protection feel free to deactivate UAC and error reporting, i bared them a few month then i just couldn't hold it, your vista experience will get much faster and easier.
Always get the latest drivers for your hardware.
Check the software's compability with vista before using it.
And 1GB of RAM is barely enough, sometimes my os uses 1.5GB being static.
I am truely happy with vista and didn't ever have any problem with it, i've been using it for 9 month, while even the very secure and well designed ubuntu crashed three times(this was due to flash i think)
