……and then I installed the windows 7 last night.
- People were going gaga over how quick the installation was. I thought it was exactly the same as installing Windows 2008 server.
- I was one of those who actually found it rather nice to work with Vista and have been using the ultimate version since it was released. Considering my earlier bias, Windows 7 does look polished.
- Installation was on a laptop, unplugged, with a DVD [obviously]. Unlike Ubuntu who’d not let me install until I plugged the power cord, Windows had nothing to complain and it actually worked fine with the wireless.
- Oh, the audio drivers and my touch pad refused work. One had to dig through the DVD archives for the Dell drivers CD for Vista. Round 1 for moi.
- And the installation, in its infinite wisdom, pointed out the lack of anti-virus. A little intertube search yielded Microsoft approved free, yeah, free anti-virus AVG . Take that people.
- Will I completely shift to Windows 7 from Vista yet. Heck no! I like it, but not that much. Not yet.
