Dragging down Vista

Well, today's the day. I've been involved in the Connect trials of various versions of Vista - even posted a bug report or two - and this morning I got my reward in the form of a free copy of the new operating system. All I had to do was haul my browser over to the download site and grab it. Just me and a few million other people.....

Well, after a few fits and starts during the day I've managed to get a whole DVD's worth of the new magic and I'm starting to install it. I've been generally impressed with the Vista experience and I've been looking forward to getting hold of the genuine article. I was a bit scared when the screen came up with "..this upgrade may take several hours." but as I write this my media PC is running the final version.

Just in time for me to go to bed....

It's the most pleasant install maginable. not only did it have drivers for most things I was using, it happily pootled off to get those it didn't. It also informed me tat it had backed up my entire previous install into windows.old, along with all the stuff I couldn't be bothered backing up and resigned myself to losing. RC1 is a bit flakey but it is encouraging and runs Oblivion fine ;P
