Experiencing Windows Vista

by Florian Jensen

Vista01Hey there peeps, I have recieved a licence key for Windows Vista with Windows Ultimate Extras.

I have been running it now for 12 hours, and have to say, it doesn’t crash more than Windows XP.

I installed it without any problems on my Test PC (P3 700MHz, GF4 MX, 512MB Ram) and encountered no problems. I have tried to do the same thing on VMWare Server, but that didn’t work, which is really a pity.

Then I was at the point of the activation. This didn’t work at all. After searching a few forums, I have found this as a solution. So anyone of you who has problems activating Vista follow these steps here.

After that all worked fine. I have some problems with Nvidia Drivers and 3D Acceleration, but that is only a minor problem. I have posted here some images which you’ll like.

My favourite new features is the RSS Feed Reader in Internet Explorer 7. You can see how it looks like on the screenshots. But there is again or still the problem of Internet Explorer and CSS. It just doesn’t seem to work like CSS and Firefox does.

I hope you’ll enjoy the screenshots, and feel free to ask for more. read more »
