Insert Vista Pun Here
My computer started dying a few weeks ago, and I’ve been in a struggle to recover it since. I think I’ve finally got all the hardware worked out, but the end result was still a completely corrupted installation of Windows 2000. Now, I’d been thinking of upgrading to XP anyways (I’m pretty happy with it at work, and 2k support is really dwindling), but the damn thing won’t install. It either gives me IRQ errors, or the keyboard just shuts off, preventing me from proceeding. On a whim, I happened to pop in this Vista RC1 DVD I’ve got, and it installed great!
Overall, it’s a pretty neat GUI, but that’s really it. I personally still prefer the straightforwardness of Win2k. I’ve also noticed several bugs already, but that’s expected, seeing as it’s a release candidate, and the software I’m using was written for XP. This will probably just be temporary, until I get the XP thing worked out, but it’ll be interesting to try in the meantime.
