I expect to pick up the Vista Ult DVD on Wed.
Hopefully SP1 will be available for download on Tue.
I have a 25 (40)gb Primary partition sitting right above XP.
I will dual boot with Paragon boot manager as I am licensed fot PM9.
Looked at some very nice demo videos the other day
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...9b7171033.mspx
- very well done and helped acclimate me.
At Best Buy today played with Vista and learned how to change start menu to
classic, Control Panel can still be made classic, change background, check
display parameters, changed a couple screen savers to bubbles, did not hack
any machines, looked through control panel and programs, windows explorer,
and otherwise had fun realizing that it's not that much different from XP
and I think I will have a lot of fun with it.
I have been getting firewall and AV info from this forum, and am set with
new vid card driver, intellipoint (6.2!!!), audigy driver, HP printer
setup, and notes on how to disable shadow / system restore.
And perhaps most importantly I have plonked 11 posters and 3 subject words,
and now the forum is extremely useful, and help is easy to get.
Having fun! Learning!
