An update for all the geeks out there…

I had mentioned in a previous post about testing the new Windows Vista operating system here in the office. And, if you recall, (or if you just go read it) the testing wasn’t going so well. We had to trick the OS into installing, and even after getting it installed, the box was useless for just about everything other than internet access.

We recently got the newer version of the beta release, and this time things are going much better. The install works fine (without any rigging to get it working), and programs install and actually run. We’re a Lotus shop (unfortunately), and now that we’ve got the Notes client working on Vista, we’ll probably have a few users who will be using the new OS regularly. I’m not going to be one of those people…I barely like using a production version of Windows. Using a beta version would be torture.
