Gave second chance to Windows Beauty, VISTA. and this time, it lasts 2 weeks. But I spent much time on finding patches, updates, new version of software, and finally feel really tired on working on this OS. Windows 2000 needs 4 service packs to go stable, XP has 2. MS seems getting better, but time will tell

So if you are a trouble seeker, VISTA will definiately your choice, otherwise, keep away from it as far as it. and waiting for MS’ service pack or next version of VISTA, just like Win95, Win97, and Win98

Tried VISTA month ago, was very unhappy with the performance and compatibility with current software. After months, I want to give a go again.

Thanks to VS 2005 SP1 VISTA upgrade, VS 2005, one of my daily using software, can be run. But there are still maaaany issus with other softwares

1. Tortoisesvn has interface issue
2. MyGeneration cannot connect to SQL Server 2005 because of no MDAC 2.7 on VISTA

Oh Dear god, when microsoft can give us a usable OS!!!!!

The beautiful VISTA has VERY HIGH LEVEL compatible issue, many “old” programs cannot run on VISTA well. The strangest thing is, event MS’ Visual Studio 2005 has a “known” and unsolved compatible issue

Since this afternoon, my vista keep crashing on explorer.exe with Event ID 1000,

“Faulting application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0×4549b091, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0×00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0×74d84618, process id 0xeb4, application start time 0×01c77ec809c9349d.”

Googled for nearly an hour, nobody is sure for what caused this problem. I really fell enough with this pretty but useless vase. Goodby my Vista

微软放出VISTA RTM似乎已经是很久很久以前的事儿了. 前几天花了几个小时在我的DUAL-XEON的机子上装了一套.总体来说安装过程比XP简单了很多.可以说只要有一个手指, 一只眼睛,就会装VISTA :). 上传几张抓图给大家瞅瞅.
