Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor RC

by Wela on 19 November 2006 00:13

Just thought about writing this, because during last 3 days couple of buddies called to find info about ... how do I enable Aero glass effect in Vista, how do I do the flip 3D thing and so on. Basically for both these features you need a VGA card which supports. But the problem is how can we find out whether the existing VGA supports these before installing Vista. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor RC is the solution. Go to the site, download it and run. It'll give you a report explaining what are the things that Vista will support in your machine and what will not. So you can avoid 'Post Vista installation dissapointments'

I ran the tool in my home machine and everything was perfect, so tonight i'll be installing. But scan results in my tablet gave a message saying I need a BIOS upgrade before installing Vista. Then I called the Toshiba tech support in Singapore they confirmed that the required upgrade is already installed. Anyways i'm going to give it a try as soon I get a chance.

Any minute Microsoft is going to publish the Vista Final download into the MSDN site :)   I'm checking the MSDN and Bink almost every hour to here the good news. Can't wait. Have waited too long for the Vista final release.

My home machine was running on Vista Beta editions for the last 18 months and seems like now it is tired of installing the OS every month. Few days ago the hard disk started giving a 'tic tic' sounds and it feels like it's kicking my heart, I have my big ass MP3 collection in that. Things are too busy as usual to spend time to backup everything to DVDs, or to another hdd. Anyways I'm going to have to buy another big hard disk just for Vista. Or is this a good time to go for the new machine?   hmmmm!!! naaah!   i'm going to wait couple more months till Dell 30" LCD's prices comes down.

Last night I installed the Office 2007 apps, and it runs nice and smooth. There are like half a billion features to check out in the whole office suite. Let's see ...

Couple of days back live.nl started giving out email addresses. Someoue found a workaround to extend the list to live.com and other live domains, and the guy was good enough to publish it on www.messbe.com. Luckily I saw it and guess what. I created wela@live.com. Not a big deal, but it's kinda cool. Just now found that they have fixed the issue on live and guys who couldn't get use of this bug will have to wait till they start actually giving live.com ids.

So guys, if you wanna drop me a mail you can use wela@live.com
