I will by this time next week...

Ordered a new machine from HP with Ultimate Wednesday because, although, I don't need a new computer, it would be more cost effective to buy one built around Vista rather than buying the OS and any compatible peripherals/software/accessories separately. I usually build my own so I was genuinely shocked at the branded prices out there now...let's say they made me an offer I couldn't refuse! I've already been running all the pre-release candidates and the jury's still out...of course, it took awhile to get completely comfortable with XP too...

Vista now installed   Everything seems lots faster than RC2 or XP. The install took just 22mins - but that was after spending 5 hrs wrestling with a new hard-drive. I was going to transfer my existing XP installation to the new drive but the damned thing just refused to boot... I gave up and did a clean install. I need dual boot so I can run games in XP, Vista drivers are not up to the job yet.

So here's my Vista info:

Darned processor ruined my rating - the graphics are at 5.9 and hard-drive 5.6...

Hehe, you'll find this funny. I've uploaded that pic to my album in XP, in Vista everytime I clicked on 'Add Photo' IE crashed

Ordered OEM versions (2 Home Premium) the other day, should be here next week.

Office 2007 small business (trial) currently running on RC2 (build 5744) on both desktop and notebook without issues now that ATI released drivers.

If the final release is optimized (which I assume it is) beyond RC2, then my computing experience will be great.
