Yep, just like every other computer freak out there, I want to try Windows Vista on for size. Do I do my desktop or my laptop? It’s a toss-up because both of them are as important as the other so I chose my laptop. While I’m writing this, the laptop is tirelessly upgrading itself to Windows Vista. It’s taken a long time already. The fact it says “The installation could take hours to complete” is also a little scary!
Nervous? You bet I’m nervous but I feel a little safe because I did a disk image of my laptop before upgrading.
But Microsoft was nice (sic) enough to release the software in the beta form, so I was inclined to download it, made a backup and wait. Not that tough, the Browns are winning so I’m watching them and typing this blog. I don’t want to utter a word about the progress, I don’t want to jinx the installation. I’ll update soon with a report about how things are going.
UPDATE: Okay, I’m still writing this on my Toshiba laptop running XP. Even though I know my BIOS on the computer is fully ACPI compliant. I get a blue screen of death at the re-boot of my computer. It asks that I contact my system’s maker to get an upgrade. However, my laptop is supposed to be fully ACPI compliant. This isn’t the first time a Windows installation has had problems with this sort of thing. So until, Microsoft changes its code or Toshiba releases new BIOS for my laptop. Not cool!
