Well I eventually got all the updates and add ons installed to bring my Visual Studio up to Vista development standards - what a mission, 10:30am to 11:30pm yesterday and the a couple of hours this morning.
All that to find some strange default setting by those who should know better.
Your would think the default layout for .Net3 would be a Vista Form look but know you get a XP look as default Doh! and when you choose a Windows App well one could expect a XP look as substandard but no you get Vista !!!! I am sure there is a logical explanation with this somewhere but to the layman it just looks sloppy and unpolished.
Well all is working well in Vista land, no hardware issues and the re-install has got rid of most of the issues I had with the last install. Difference fresh XP install to Vista Upgrade last time, this time fresh XP install to separate Vista clean install. Guess a clean install is well worth it, given my past issues. By the way my laptop refuses to boot from a Vista RTM DVD ?? no idea why but hey its working.
!!
I hope that MS do something with crash data that they get sent as one or two softwares stop and Vista asks if it can look for a solution, I have yet to have any come back with one exception, IE7 crashed fir no apparent reason and informed me that Firefox was to blame, get a newer Firefox it said. It seamed most convinced. Only thing was Firefox was not and had not been running and the installed version is 2.01 the latest. Oh well I guess we going to get flame wars from Vista's problem solver.
Well I'm off to try some programing and work on the main web page - so much to do.
Oh and a new web address for the main page www.exaggerated-darkness.tk
Much better - check it out. Soon I hope a new web host without the daft advert effecting frames and such.
