It’s Vista Day
Setting up my new computer, unfortunately orders got switched (dell didn’t register the first order, and then screwed up the second) and I’m stuck with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and too little RAM (seems like 4gigs is the sweet spot).
Having said that, I’m pretty pleased with Vista. The user interface is much more userfriendly than XP, I love the new “Start Search”. I am not sad to see multiple levels of fly-out menus getting thrown out.
One thing that is a bit annoying is all the security checks that you have to go through to do simple things.
Delete file:
Windows Explorer asks if you want to do this
Windows asks if you want to allow Windows Explorer to delete files
I get an alert that I am making changes to the configuration and get asked to confirm.
Obviously this is just the first time, so I guess I can live with it.
Will post more updates in my shiney new Vista category. Oh yeah… and I can’t seem to install firefox…
