It all began with the MojaveExperiment ... the site is too bussy for anyone to visit... but made me just a little bit interested into trying out Vista for my self...
So late saturday night (1-3 am), i choose to try out Vista on my Laptop. A decent machine i'd say:
- Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, 2ghz 4MB cache
- 2x 1024 MB DDR2 PC5300
- Nvidia Geforce GO 7600 / 512 DDR3
- 7200rpm Hitachi 100GB HDD
The version of Vista: Business 32bit.
First, i had to move my partitions using Partition Magic from 12gb to 21gb on C: (because Vista is hungry!) (this i began about at 11pm prior to installation)
okay - i then Ghosted my current installation of WindowsXP and all the installed programs.. just in case...
Now to the reboot - installation - first boot... there its installed...
I then slepted until 9-10 AM and downloaded the updated Vista drivers and INF's... Strangely enough: every 10-20 seconds the machine lags - the mouse wont respond ??
I continue, installing FF3 and some other stuff... and all in all, im not satisfied with the performance... :-(
the lagging continues, and on monday at about 12AM i ghost back to WinXP pro!...

Vista is good for one thing though... Desktop Wallpapers !! :-D
