I haven’t had the chance to upgrade my PC to Vista because it’s still in California, but I’m sure this is what I’ll be looking forward to when I do. I don’t think that these ads will ever get old. Enjoy!

They put me on a new Dell with Vista at work today, had to set it up and all that…and I must say, it’s not That bad. Dell installs a lot of crap that you have to get rid of. (but when did Dell ever not do that?) Other than that I haven’t had much problem with it. Photoshop CS2 works, 3DS Max 8 works (though it doesn’t like the Aero style and will change to ‘basic’ whenever opened, which is the same as Aero except without the transparency), Firefox works…so yeah.
Oh, and it also wouldn’t let me install the graphics drivers from the disc, had to download them from nvidia’s site. Oh, and the 2nd & 3rd time I booted up, the sidebar had an error and closed out. I don’t know what caused that problem, but it after that it worked. I didn’t think I’d like the sidebar, but I thought I’d give it a shot. I only have my processing specs (both cpu’s and memory) being shown, as well as an RSS feed of you guys. So it doesn’t take up that much space.
Other than all that stuff, and just getting use to how they set up the browsing through folders, etc, etc, etc….it’s not that bad.
Mark-
Thanks for the input! Let it be known that my hatred for Windows is merely on the surface and deep down somewhere in my soul I still love MS. Every OS has their share of problems.
Peter, that was a very sweet comment.
Anyway, what’s w/ the California thing?
california rocks! thats what
bias aside… yea i’ve heard good things from the windows camp,
but these ads are still the best marketing scheme in years
I have to rate this ad at the bottom of the list compared to all the others they have produced so far – I find this is getting old now… I guess the saying “too much of a good thing isn’t good” goes well with these promo pieces.

I left my PC in Nor*Cal when I moved to NYC and California rocks!
For what it’s worth, I didn’t have any problems with drivers when I installed Vista on my self-build desktop…. haven’t had to download a single driver for any of my hardware.
