Vista business edition

Normally with me, if something can go wrong it will go wrong!
So how surprised was i when on installing the RTM version of Vista (after being one of the beta testers) that it all worked fine with no problems, at great speed and with no compatibility problems (except for my creative webcam but who relies on Creative to supply good drivers for anything?).

I've been running it since release date and haven't had to re-install or even clean up the install, something i used to have to do with XP on a almost bi-monthly basis.

I was stuck using XP a few weeks ago while away and to say it felt clunky and amateurish is an understatement.

I'll also like to say that i find the IIS7 interface far easier and my work flow has rocketed

I guess at the end of the day it's a personal choice just like everything.

I ran vista premium on celeron 2ghz with 512MB RAM and it runs quite slick. Better than XP i would say. Only problems are software compatibility and typical M$ incompetency. Remember XP and 2000 wasn't perfect either at launch. As a tried and tested policy I will wait till service pack 1 or at least major bug fixes to be released before upgrading. A caveat to improving speed use compatible hardware, disable all fancy 3D effect and if you must use them to fascinate your kids then offload gfx processing to good GPU.

Well are drivers necessary for those KBs??? All standard PS2 keyboards with fancy functions seem to work off standard enhanced KB driver. If one would stick to purchasing standardized WHQL listed hardware only then driver problems are vastly eliminated. Most of those drivers are included with OS all the time. Back at work, I have standardized all desktop purchases to hardware with drivers included in Windows. This really simplifies job a lot.
