A nice snowy day in Ottawa. So I am simply browsing around looking for interesting things. Vista is due soon and it will be interesting to see how much stuff comes out alongside it. I recall Win 98 and XP launches, so much activity followed it was impos to keep up.
It has been quiet on the release side latley and very few venders hav updates for Vista - lets see - I expect a massive impulse of patches and updates but who knows. For sure there will be many disapointed people around if they updgrade XP and programs fail to work, its does not reasure you when aplications ask for two or three confirmations prior to running only to fall over because you forgot to run in admin mode or failed to goto the compatabilty tab and set XP first.
When other VIsta features fail due to drivers or other programs it could make for fun reading across the forumns as people quierie the Beta test. It was large but for sure many regular uses will have give it amiss. When games fail or wont work well with Vista the gaming comunity will have fun working out ways to turn Vista back to XP.
I have decided that fine tuning Vista would be of little use as most adjustments mean turning off Vista features so I may as well simply put WIndows 2003 onto the machine and disable it advanced server features, put up with its securty but small % of comatabilty issues and make do. Its the features that make Vista Vista and like it or not they add to its workabilty and stabilty over time.
Well off to wander the net, for now a snowy pic to enjoy....
Take a seat in Greenboro ...
