Windows Vista is here
If Vista fell in the forest, would anyone hear it? The reaction thus far has been pretty negative. Here are a couple of good articles from folks who've gotten to try it out:
- Windows Vista Arrives With A Thud - Hardcop Consumer
- Windows XP vs. Vista - Tom's Hardware (some interesting results)
I ran a Vista evaluation tool on my two-year old Lenovo T42, the results were that I could only run the basic version of Vista, I'd need a video card upgrade to run any of the higher versions (Premium or Ultimate). I have no idea if one CAN even upgrade a video on this laptop, but I suspect not. If one needs a new machine to run Vista, I suspect Mac sales are in for quite a boom.
(Strange but true, as I was typing this FireFox on my XP machine went to 99% processor utilization, forcing me to hit ctrl-alt-del about six times before the task manager finally came up and allowed me to kill the process. Fortunately I didn't have to do a cold reboot.)
Actually, I think that Microsoft might save the VoiP world as I mentioned in my blog - http://flatplanetphone.com/wordpress/?p=34
