Vista'd!
I decided today would be my geek-out day and upgrade Hulihee, my Windows XP computer, to 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate. I was sure to run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to make sure my hardware was supported (all but my SoundBlaster from 1997 was), and back up all my important files, should anything disasterous happen.
Since I was going from 32- to 64-bit, an OS upgrade was not an option, so I took the opportunity to format my C: drive, ridding myself of any legacy bits, and clicked Install. Half an hour later, I was up and running. Since Vista discovered my wireless network card, I was on the Internet and downloading patches immediately. As of this blog post, it's been two hours, I have Office 2007 installed, and am running from my own low-priviledge account (natch).
So far, my Vista experience has been great. We'll see how long before I hit a snag.
