I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I just received the latest Microsoft Action Pack update, which contains Vista Business. As unimpressed as I've been with the new feature set, and despite the knowledge of exactly where the arrows end up in pioneers, I've been running the upgrade advisor on a few boxes to see if they can run it. So, let's review. Brand new operating system. Dubious driver support. Known compatibility issues with my development tools and heaven knows what else. What am I thinking??? Quick, people, explain to me why I'd rather go back to a career in Marketing than install Vista. Before my inner geek takes control and I lose what remaining common sense I possess...

The Bunny Wars was long ago. However, if I thought that Vista would serve as an adequate Bunny Repellant, I'd install it on everything from my laptop to my microwave! :)

It was actually the first edition to ship. It's an empty box.

Interesting article, especially the ReadyBoost stuff. Well, having run the advisor on three machines thus far, all of them have had misgivings expressed about a few drivers. And of course, they all barked at my development tools, but shucks, who needs Visual Studio or SQL Server? :rolleyes: I feel the common sense returning already...

I say, try it out. You'll wind up uninstalling it at some point. But I think you need to give it a spin and see what's under the hood. I think it's the coolest thing I've ever seen in an operating system and I wish like all hades I could run it. But it has a few issues that are killing me and mainly hardware. (Having used Vista and owning a Mac I think Vista whoops a can-O-@$$ on a Mac.) Install it and just know that you might want to remove it to. Don't activate it just let it nag you for a bit until you are sure.

It is tempting. Unfortunately, all of the boxes that could handle it are boxes I actually have to depend on at the moment. Probably wait until I buy yet another PC. Heaven knows I need another one. :rolleyes:
