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! :)
