A very good walk through of Windows Vista

Filed under: Microsoft, WINDOWS — Brian @ 10:41 am

If you haven’t gotten a chance to play with Windows Vista yet, you might want to take a gander at the LifeHacker article on the subject. It’s picture rich, and a pretty thorough overview of what you’ll be getting.

I just got word yesterday to ramp up for deploying our first Vista based products. It’s coming on like a steam train.

Right now, the way I’m looking at it, I’m not likely to upgrade EVER. Something might change my mind some day… some future game I HAVE to have might require DirectX 10 which, right now, is Vista only. That’s not all that likely. I might get a new machine that has it bundled, I guess. Win XP works well enough for me right now and I am already fighting the activation wizard WAY to often….

In fact, I started my prep work for Vista being the only MS OS sold: I reinstalled Suse Linux on my main machine…

  1. I’m having fun playing with Beryl on Linux on my Mac Mini. My desktop is a spinning cube - so “pah!” to Vista’s 3d window stack.

    Anyways, sorry I missed this message. Try out some songs! How about Boing Boom Tschak? Surely that’s spam! :)

  2. LOL yeah so much for “That’s Paul Mitchell’s site. He posts here all the time. I’m sure you’ll get a quick answer. ” (emphasis mine.)

    Beryl is just wild!
    I’m afraid that until I get mulitple monitor support from SUSE, I’ll have a hard time switching on a permanent basis.

    Now that you reminded me, I should reboot…
