I have to admit - the desktop does look pretty. I'm sure I can do most of
this in KDE but still..

....I really like the fingerprint login integrated with the laptop. Nice.

Only complaint - I couldn't find my WiFi network. I typically don't
broadcast my SSID, so I expect to just type it in (like I do in
KNetworkManager) when I first connect. However, Vista gives no option to
do so. I had to enable broadcasting my SSID, then get on the network, find
a right-click hidden option to "connect even when hidden" and then reset
my SSID to not broadcast.

Whew! Linux was never this hard!

In any case, I'm off and running with Vista. Pan seems to have an issue
with the GTK+ DLL's (yes, they still use those!) and I need to install
NetBeans and Office 2007. I also have to get rid of this Norton crap and
install some reall AV software.

Is this NT 6.0? Just curious what version of the kernel I'm on. I'll have
to check, as I'm on my Win2K system now.

So much work, so little time...

Actually the versions of Linux I tried 3-4 years ago sucked big green donkey
organs.
They convinced me to stick with XP.
The newer versions aren't bad.
Vista hasn't shown me anything to keep me interested.
If I want pretty, I'll go to an art gallery or a beach...
