Vista In Use - Day One
Around the web a search for Vista alone will yield many an article about the terrible experiences people have had, how much better Windows XP is, and how it’s just junk.
It isn’t.
I’m saying this as ever, as a new user to the system, and as a Mac OS X and Linux user too. I’ll wager many of those proponents of the ‘Vista sucks’ message are either those who need/want to drive up visitor numbers/advertising revenue and those willing to read that message to confirm a half baked belief that will vindicate them as right. But this isn’t about what is right or wrong, just the facts. Just the facts Jack.
I purchased an Acer Aspire M1640 the other week as I had decided that I needed to have Vista to develop sidebar gadgets as part of my work. Also the Dell was getting somewhat long in the tooth. So I bought my first new PC ever. I bought it pre-built as it worked out cheaper, quite a lot cheaper. £279 bought a Core 2 Duo E4700 system (2.6GHz), 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, Vista Home Premium license, DVD+/-RW, etc. A good solid middle of the road base unit.
