Bought Windows Vista Home Premium and installed it on my main computer. It installed all my hardware automatically and was a nearly unattended process. I answered a couple of questions only, like language, timezone, etc. It's working perfectly. AND - the store I bought it from was giving away free with every copy of Vista, THIS:

Which I installed and it blows my old Linksys away!

Well, shall we start a new topic for every operating system we buy and install? :roll:

We recently had an discussion about if anyone would upgrade to Windows Vista and this is the off topic forum so I don't mind...

Well, I was mainly reporting on the improvements they've made to the install process, but thanks for your rudeness anyway.

You're welcome...

I won't mind if you write a detailed review... But what you did is just a "Hello, I bought a new OS and was actually able to install it!"

hu Wish.. what's up... bitten by the code-louses again...?

there so much about Vista lately, perhaps we should start a new sub-forum for it?

that would be easier to find or to avoid...

Yeah... a special subforum for every OS version!

How much time did you spend to create that list?

For a thread he didn't care to see posted he's certainly spending a lot of time on it...
