So the other day I was all set to install Vista and Ubuntu on my Mac so I could triple boot whichever I wanted. However when I went to partition my drive to install Vista with Boot Camp it told me I needed to reformat my drive.
So I did one last Time Machine back up [...]
By most people’s standard, Vista has been a rather slim success. It’s been shunned by most of the business world and has had a lot of problems with home users as well. Apparently Microsoft has brought forward the release of Windows 7 because of this.
However if you watched this video without ever having heard of [...]
Microsoft have just launched a new campaign that allows you to get either Vista Ultimate Edition, Office 2007 Ultimate, Money Plus Premium, Encarta Premium or Streets and Trips for free. First you just have to fill out some surveys and then install a little application that watches everything you do for 3 months and sends [...]
I installed Vista on my Macbook today via BootCamp so that I could unlock my phone and upgrade to Windows Mobile 6. It took a bit of effort and a lot of reading but I got there in the end and now my phone can be used with any SIM card and is also running [...]
I’m using Windows Live Writer to post this cos I’m in Vista, more about that later, and it’s actually pretty nice. It’s well laid out and while it doesn’t show you how the final product will look, it does make it easy to see what you’re typing. There’s an easy set of buttons to insert [...]
I had two Mac problems today. The first was/is iMovie which refuses to launch for some annoying reason. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling it but to no avail. I’m gonna take it to the Apple Store if it isn’t work since I’m pretty sure they provide support for it.
The second was Boot Camp. I [...]
I installed Vista on my PC which I moved up last week, only the PC isn’t too happy about it. It barely runs Vista since it only has 512mb RAM. Luckily it would seem I can upgrade the RAM on it quite easily, as well as the hard drive. I’ll probably upgrade the memory but [...]
I moved my desk up into the attic and dismantled the big ‘The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’ wardrobe. God it was a hassle getting it downstairs, thing weighs a ton. I now have my PC with Vista installed on it on my desk, I wasn’t getting any use out of it on my [...]
Ack! I have another thing I really want to buy but know I shouldn’t: Entourage Season 2. It’s only £15 as well which makes it all the more tempting. I loved Season 1. I think if I haven’t bought it by the time I go to Ian’s then I will go then since I get [...]
So I’ve been using Vista for a couple of days now and I’m really liking it. Apart from the obvious graphical improvements, it also seems to be a lot more stable. I’ve only had one program crash on me, Windows Media Player, as opposed to programs crashing being a normality on XP.
I’ve still to properly [...]
