New net is meh so far. Not really impressed, but it isn't so bad that I want to change it. Will give it a bit more time before I decided whether to keep or switch it.

Switching to Vista is scaring the crap out of me. Do not want to "upgrade" and then find out something isn't compatible. Oy.

Having way too much fun at this cell phone strap site. ( Read more... )

she's blah blah blahing again

At this point in Vista's life cycle there are very few things that don't work. If there's anything that at this point doesn't work with Vista, blame the manufacturer.

When I made the switch a year and a half ago, the only device I lost, out of the many I had, was my Wacom. It was an old first gen Intuous which they stopped supporting once the 3 came out. Had Wacom put a little effort into adding a couple lines to the driver to allow it to connect via USB instead of serial, I wouldn't have had to replace it.

Besides if you upgrade now, I'm pretty sure you'll qualify for a free Windows 7 upgrade and W7 is <333333 *_*. I can't want to put it on my desktop after using the RC on my laptop for a few months.

I was wondering who that person replying to my journal was. XD

Thanks for the info! I feel better now, and once I download some drivers (juuuust in case), I'll update to Vista. ^^ The Vista I have is from a cousin who got it for free, so no free upgrade to Windows 7 for me. =/ But hopefully it will fix the weirdness my computer has been facing. :D

HAha yep! One of my new Ran's for a game I'm totally <3'ing over.

Anyway, yeah. Vista is not as bad as the horror stories make it out to be and also some of the "annoyances" can be easily removed. I recommend going to mintywhite.com once you're all settled into Vista and poking around their guides for tweaking out further.

Those stories really got to me so I avoided it like the plague! XD Thanks for the link! I'll definitely give it a look over once I install Vista. :D
