When I upgraded my PC 6 months ago, I decided to go for for vista (home basic) as its OS. If you ask me if I am happy with the choice, my answer is not a straight forward "yes"! It is mainly because, right from day one, I have been having problems installing the mic! In fact the OS does not automatically detect the presence of a mic connection as good old windows98 used to do. And all attempts at making the mic work have not yielded any results yet. I reported the problem to Micosoft Help and have not got a reply! (Speakers work perfectly, though).
