1. Make Sure you know which edition is right for you or even if
Vista is right for you. I am running Vista in a Virtual Machine.
So far I have had No Problems with it. For the average Home user I
would recommend Vista Home Premium. If you are a media person, you
might like Ultimate or Get XP Media Center Edition.
2. Know your hardware specs. Don’t be mad if your ’90s Graphics card
cannot run Aero. My computer cannot run Aero due to the fact that
it is a Dell . 
Also if you are going to upgrade you might need
to Download The "Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor" from Microsoft.com
which will tell you What you need to upgrade.
3. Don’t be afraid to open your computer. Unless you are on a laptop,
you might need to explore to find out if your parts are compatible.
4. Get the right version! Nothing is more annoying than buying a
32-bit version instead of a 64-bit version and not being to take
advantage of that 4GB of ram believe me you WILL need it!
5. Never use minimum requirements. The actual amount should be 2x
that. This Is very Expensive, and always remember… You would be
better off with a MAC!!!!!!!!!!
