Yay for Windows Vista

Pete · 19th of November 2006 (Sun)

Finally got to install the final version of Windows Vista tonight and I'm well impressed. Way way smoother and faster than the earlier beta versions...

I tried that. It won't install on any of my systems.

Neither will Vista, but I think that may be the fact that I do not agree to the terms of the license. Just maybe.

(OK, so I didn't really try installing OSX because I knew up front it wouldn't install, but... my problem with using it doesn't go away)

Not to keep bringing up the Mac OS, but there is a connection to Windows. I can run Window on my MacPro and my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp. There is talk that Boot Camp will be built into the next Mac OS (10.5). One can only hope that it will alsoo run Vista.

My DVD rewriter has not been the same since I downloaded IE7 - loads of good advice and reloading the program have not helped. Of course the rewriter may simply be a lousy machine that has blown itself up coincidentally...it is a Sony and i get the impression half the stuff they sell is just badged with their name

My 2 decisions out of this are - to be much more careful about downloading any 'upgrades' from Microsoft until they are proven, and also to strongly consider a Mac when my next desk top is being planned!

Glad to hear you are happy - but personally I'll watch and wait a little bit longer.....

Man ... I am a Microsoft Partner and I ain't got a proper version yet

Not that I'd actually install it on anything I need to use this year

Pete · 20th of November 2006 (Mon)

I've had Vista on my laptop ever since Beta 2 came out. It's run pretty good since then, but then the only things I really use it for these days is email, browsing and photoshop. If you're really worried about losing something vital (and why don't you back up??), then don't install it unless it's proven. As all my photos are on an external drive and I can always replace my applications, I'm ok to risk it. I'm liking it so far!

Oh, and I'm an MSDN subscriber, so we get to see stuff before the public does...!

Maybe you can get a Zune to go with that Vista

Hehe.. working on it, but read that the navigation isn't as good as the ipod, if it's cheap enough.....

zune doesn't work with vista

ahhh the genius that is redmond.

Pete · 20th of November 2006 (Mon)

Hehe.. Nice find that. Still, that was probably referring to RC2 of Vista. And there's the fact that the Zune won't be available in the UK until after Christmas sometime.

I can live with my iPod a while longer, even though it's borked...

Hmm.. also explains why Microsoft were still giving away Creative Zens as prizes in the last Tech-Ed...
