Dye My Eyes and Call Me Pretty
For some strange reason I have this strong desire to want to change my computing environment over to Windows Vista. Sure I know that it's not been officially released and that I'm running on release candidate code but the way it looks really makes me want to use the damn thing.
So over the last couple of days I've installed it, in dual boot mode of course, on my laptop and on my office PC. The only problem is, hardly any of the software that I install attempt to install will run. How frustrating!!!
I can only equate it to an ocean where only a limited number of vessels will actually sail. The rest never leave the pier or sink shortly thereafter.
Maybe many of my frustrations have been dealt with in RC2; however, since I've not been able to locate a copy, I'm going to guess that more than likely they haven't been fixed.
It's a little disappointing. Microsoft has taken many of the features that make the Mac user interface experience so cool and incorporated them into Vista. This first taste is enough to wet the appetite but at this point in the game there's really nothing much more to sustain it.
