Hasta La Vista
Hope everyone had a good Christmas. I got meself some nice shirts, a couple of new games for the Wii, a load of cash and a striptease mug. When hot water is inside the mug, the clothes on the ladies in this picture on the side of the mug go blank, and then… yeah. 
Well, I won’t tell you how, but I have managed to get the new Windows, Windows Vista, on my computer, and I shall give you my first impressions. Basically, it jumped at me as Windows XP in an eye-popping but expensive costume. It looks good, but really doesn’t offer too much more over the previous Windows version, and next to nothing over what other OS’s such as Apple OS X and Linux already provide.
It runs fairly well, not much of a speed increase over Windows XP, but that possibly could be because I didn’t wipe my hard drives when I installed this, I just installed it onto my second hard drive so I could still boot into Windows XP if I have to. All my stuff is still there.
I haven’t as yet tested any games on it, but I’ll give it a go after writing this blog, so you’ll have to wait for another entry before I talk about them.
Well let’s see, new features… the new gadgets system seems to be Microsoft’s monolopizing answer to Yahoo Gadgets which was becoming quite popular at one stage. At least it’s open for other developers to work on. The new Media Centre is fairly streamlined and sexy, giving a central place to listen to your media which is good, although I’ll still probably prefer using playlists for Windows Media Player and Winamp and the like.
I’ll post more later when I think about it, but I say wait until developers start forcing you to upgrade to Vista before actually buying Vista.
Have a good new years, don’t get too smashed.
