Vista Smista Piece of ....
Well, we finally received a copy of Vista and I thought I would try it out on our "test" system, a Dell Dimension 2400 with a 2.6GHz Pentium 4, 1GB of RAM, and 80 GB hard drive and a DVD+/-RW. I knew starting into it that the integrated Intel 845G graphics on the box were not going to support Aero, but who cares, we were going to run Vista Business anyway, and I just wanted to see how it all looked. First off the installation took forever, and I mean forever. I started shortly after lunch and I had to go home that evening with the system still installing Office 2007. However, during the Office install I was still able to play with the box. And my bottom line is this. Vista is really darn annoying and as slow as a dog on a 2.6GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM. That is scary. It's installation also killed my GRUB install so I cannot access the Ubuntu 6.10 installation on the box which just flies on this low end Dell with 1GB of RAM. I am sure I can reinstall GRUB to bring it back to
