I'm a Windows Vista User | |

So I've just done what practically everybody, including Microsoft, recommends against: I've installed the beta of Windows Vista (nee Longhorn) as my only OS on my primary work machine. From this day on, I'm a WinVista user--at least when I'm using this desktop, and assuming that nothing goes so show-stoppingly wrong that I decide to wipe my hard drive and start over with XP. I'm still getting back up and running with my core applications. So far, there haven't been huge surprises pro or con. The biggest problem I've encountered is a mundane-but-annoying carryover from XP: To get back on our corporate network, I had to change some settings which live in System in the Control Panel. That's a counterintuitive place to put them--whenever I need to get a machine on a network, I always think they're going to be somewhere in the network settings, and waste time looking for them there. | ||
