Windows Vista!

I just had to be the first kid on my block to download and install Windows Vista on my computer. I had a little issue last week - my main hard drive died, and I pretty much lost my OS and a few files. I went out and bought a new 400GB SATA drive, and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on it. Last night, Vista was released to manufacturing, and I downloaded and installed it.

It's a thing of beauty. The upgrade was painless, although it took a couple of hours. Visually, it's really nice. Easy on the eyes, intuitive, good navigation. There are beaucoup new things in Vista, especially if you have the Ultimate version (which, of course, I do).

If you have the opportunity, upgrade. It's very much worth it (so far).
