Window Vista + EQ2Follow

Ummm... what is *Window Vista*, exactly?...

/em looks down & scrapes toe of boot in dirt while mumbling something about not being an IT guy...

that would be correct. Newest windows OS. Looks pretty sweet, will have a few screenshots later.

Install took about 20 minutes. Very simple that i think my mother can do the install without knowing what she is doing. That was the time of booting up with the windows DVD to being at my desktop.

All drivers but the 56k modem on my laptop were installed.

Boot up time was less about 15 secs.

Installed EQ2 and it runs just like my xp was running.

This is a 3.4ghz p4 extreme edition with gig of ram and a 256mb gefoce 6800 gp ultra.

Will full with it for about a week on my laptop and if it works good i will format my real laptop harddrive and put it on. Got a spare drive so my orginal data will not be lost.

Just read about Vista for the first time today. There will be some issues with certain monitors. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25094

Vista is the new name for what was to be Longhorn, the latest Windows OS.

Before now, I had only heard it refered to by the code name Longhorn. But if they're almost ready to release it, makes sense to give it a real name.

Dang! I was just getting comfortable with XP... now I gotta switch to a 64 bit OS?

yup, that is very true. It is still in beta. And i know business's wont really touch that thing at all. Our standard build at work for computers are 256 megs of ram. 512 for the people that actually need it. I dont see us upgrading 3000+ pcs to 768 megs of ram just to hand standard apps.
