Windows Vista
So I got my hands on Windows Vista yesterday (wooo!) at work.
Downloaded, installed, and resolved all issues within three hours. That's impressive considering th 3Gig file normally takes 4.5 hours to download ;)
Overall, very impressed with the speed, ease, and the beauty of Windows Vista!
And since its the weekend, I decided to install vista on my machine at home! (Not my mac, my pc).
Ripping the DVD (3Gigs) to my mac, converting it to an iso file from a dmg, copying it to my pc over the network, installation, and resolving all issues took 1.5 hours.
Now THAT's impressive. And glass worked right out of the box on my machine :P (It took me a while to find the right driver for my laptop at work).
My impression so far... Amazing. And this coming from a Mac guy who isn't fond of Microsoft!
Even though this is a beta, it still runs looks great. Congratulations on getting it right this time, Microsoft!
I'm looking forward to the final version!
I'll post more (and screenshots) later!
