Vista Woes

Yeah, I know, everyone has been whining about Vista. After more than a year of sitting on the side running XP 64 I finally decided it was time to start fixing some bugs that only occur under Vista. So I had my IT guy install Vista 32 and 64 bit along with the XP 64 so I could boot to any of the systems.

After 4 days I finally had to insist on getting at least my old XP 64 back up and running so that I could finish off some work that I had started there. At the moment I'm told that there are two versions of Vista on the machine that I can't boot to. 

I'm not sure why things took so long but it seems that a large percentage of the time was spent trying to get the installation CD Keys accepted by  Vista.

I don't know about anyone else but 4 days to add a hard disk and install the two systems seems a tad bit excessive. 

I say this while happily blogging from my Mac which I upgraded to Leopard a week after it was released without any trouble at all.
