Vista Mania

I just got recover from the flu and was actually sick for more than a week (come and go, and in fact I still don’t feel I am 100% recovering)

I feel a bit of headache while writing this post today. The day I wanted to write, I was too sick to write.

I bought OEM copy of Vista last month and test it on my old Pentium 4 Prescott(without activating it). Well, it runs okay but most of the time the OS will have error reading boot files and return with message saying the system files has been corrupted and asking to reinstall OS. But after few time Ctrl + Alt + Delete the OS will boot with normal.Installing Vista is perfectly easy… all you need to do is key-in your product keys and it will copy all the files to your system. Unlike XP, you need to go through few steps before finishing the installation.

Once installation are finish the OS will calculate the “windows experience index” not bad for my old system with a 4.5 rating.

Check out my screen shoot below. Vista experience is just wow! But I can’t really use it on my old Prescott. So I’m going to buy new system to compliment the OS.

In the end… buy new hardware. Thanks Bill!
