Now that is what I call an easy install.

haha, I was thinking about asking around here if the vista is worth upgrading to yet. Nice post.

At least. Definitely wait until the first service pack comes out, and only upgrade then if you need to. Vista doesn't really bring anything new to the table worth paying the price they want for it.

I've heard lots of horror stories about how incompatible it is with most hardware, and the worst part was in reguards to media. I've been told that Microsoft has implemented all kinds of anti-media crap on it to prevent people from using their computers how they want to. Making DVDs and CDs and what not. Anyone confirm or deny these claims.

 

Myself..I can see myself going to XP x64 in the coming months. I think the benifit for that is on its way up.

That's DRM, or "Digital Rights Management". Wikipedia has an article you can read through to get an idea on it.

And here's an article about one of the areas that Microsoft went overboard with the DRM

XP has DRM built in too, but it's not nearly as bad as it is built into Vista.

yeah i have to impliment it at work since microsofts POS software is VISTA PREMIUM, or we want your small buisness to go broke upgrading all of your POS compnents cause we dont want to make any thing compatible PREMIUM. Sorry for the rant. i have it installed on my test machine as of two days ago and it still doesnt work right since not every body has the right drivers yet.

Maybe this will make my Redhat stock go up a little bit.

So far the only issue I had was, I had to uninstall my anti-virus and then reinstall it after the upgrade. other than that mine is running as smooth as can be.

Heh...I came back in here to make a comment about drivers being easier to find for Linux OS's.

 

/Been having problems finding drivers for various crap on both Weenders and Leenux this week

I just got a new lap top. Sure enough nothing I have is compatable. I'm gonna give it a few months. If it doesn't get any better I have a new copy of xp till they get vista fixed. But the 3d page thing is cool. Bout the only thing that is.

I hate installing drivers for Linux.
