Finally, I’ve decided to take a turn on my geek life by upgrading to Vista It’s been a while since I last thought about upgrading, I’m more than happy to say that Vista has been great so far. This is just a testing period, because I’m using a pirated DVD at the moment. Gonna get one tomorrow night to feel the “real” Vista Ultimate

My system is only:
C2D 2.0GHz
3GB RAM
160GB HDD

I’m with Aero all the way. This effect beat Macintosh hands down! I shit you not, it’s not as boring as Mac was. But a few thing I would like to point out here though…

1, Taking more than 30GB for a fresh copy of Vista is a lot! Been thinking a lot to cut it down, but there’s no way yet. My hair loss treatment still continue until this solve.

2, Boot up is not as fast as XP though it is faster than any other computer with lower spec. Hopefully this will be improved on Windows 7 that coming out soon.

Let me get back to Vista again

Recently mom bought a new desktop for my younger sister who needing some computer work for her studies. So we went to some computer store, our budget was low though, RM2000 (USD600), and we spotted this HP Pavilion G3300 series is on the promotion…

Spec:
Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.80GHz
512MB RAM
160GB HDD

Price tagged at only RM1788 (USD552) sound like a good deal for my sister as she only online and do some Office Word process, we ordered it and arrive only at night, the initial promise in the noon was delayed. Anyway, since it comes with Windows Vista Starter, and the memory was only 512MB, imagine how slow everything was? So waiting the right time, this afternoon, I took some times and bought a Windows XP SP3 DVD, erased the whole partition and on with Windows XP and running so smooth now

Previously when I was with the slow motion Windows Vista, I checked around the internet to make sure that it was cause by the hardware configuration (Low RAM), who knows maybe some softwares that cause it, and I find out that even HP support recommend me to upgrade my RAM, and I was fucking pissed, honestly. If you know it’s not going to work so well, why bother built Windows Vista on it? Either the planner is a dumbass or he/she just want to fool their consumers.

Haha! This would be one of the greatest news and evidence to Microsoft that their latest operating system, Windows Vista is nothing but a light ostrich feathers.

“This isn’t a matter of dissing Microsoft, but Intel information technology staff just found no compelling case for adopting Vista,”

Vista is just a cover for Windows XP like all the users said. As for me, I don’t have much experience with Vista yet, just a day or two, and I probably didn’t really explore the whole Vista itself, but I did tested the eye-candy graphic Vista has and the smoothness comparing it with Windows XP. However, I believe that Windows XP is more user friendly though, especially the window explorer. In Vista, they tried to built everything in the sidebar like Mac OSX Leopard, which is… Stupid. Let’s just stick with Windows XP first and see what Window 7 can do.

P/S: January 2010 is the launching of Windows 7 as they stated. Let’s see how much longer they need to launch one operating system again
