Into The Vista Maelstrom
Relates to Operating Systems
Nearly three years ago this very week I switched platforms with the acquisition of my first ibook. I have certainly fallen for the Apple candy and a 24" iMac and iPod Touch have been added to the arsenal. With a final loss of patience in the very old and hacked Dell platform I have been running Windows testing off, and a total lack of time to even contemplate upgrading my principle platform to Leopard for Windows Boot Camp I decided to pick up a budget Acer laptop to fill the gaps. With a few windows-centric jobs looming it will also allow me to tread the shaky path that is Windows Vista for the first time. While I wait on delivery a bit of preparation has been in order including:
- Getting my head around Vista's services thanks to Black Viper's Service Guide
- Tracking down the Norton Removal Tool since that will be the first thing going.
- Verifying the compatibility of old faithful system maintenance tools including CCleaner and RegSupreme
The platform will principally be used just for testing so I will also be after Virtual PC and the Windows XP disc image to allow standalone versions of the legacy exploders. Will blog on this in due course…

Back Again!?
Relates to Blogging
Once again apologies for a long spell of absence…! No excuses. I have been absorbing my time with our beautiful daughter, Olive. It has taken four months but finally we have found a balanced routine.
So, with my first footsteps into Vista looming on the horizon I felt this was a good time to try and return to some informative blogging.
