A Vist with Vista....

My son DJ recently received a new laptop, curtesy by his great grandma as a birthday present. It is now my responsibility to give support to, with the execption of the 1 year Limited warranty support.

I have not touched Vista since it was still called Longhorn, and very much in Beta. So it is still pretty new to me. There are a few things I did like and a few things I'm having issues with, But these are no matter to my son, as he is not much of a computer geek like me. My son is more a Console Jockey, But he will soon fall to the darkside that is Microsoft. My Trials for Vista have started...

So far I have not encounter to many problems, just mainly nuances here and there, that others have stated before me. One of them being the networking thing, I can get the VIsta to see my pc one moment then the next I can't. The other is the fact that others have had issues about few games working on Vista, I find this so far to be some what true. A Few games that are installed on it I have not encountered problems, Other games like emulators or smaller Windowed apps, I have encountered problems. But this is really all to be expected.

More on my adventure to come...
