Well, today is my first day waking up to Vista on my computer and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm loving having a new interface to work with. I guess that the only bad thing about it is getting used to what is where now, but that shouldn't be a problem. The 3d tiled windows feature is fun to play around with
On the right side they have the "Gadgets" section which is neat, you can put in a calendar, notes, slide show, stock watch, weather, news, cpu/ram meter, I love it
As far as problems go (besides having to take out 3-gigs of my ram to install), the only problem that I've had was with WS_FTP Pro, the current version doesn't work for Vista, but they do offer a beta version for Vista that you can use if you call their support. Other than that, things are going great.
The neat thing about Vista is that even when you do a fresh in stall, it makes a folder titles "Windows.old" which has all of your documents, files, and programs from your previous install. It's nice in a way, but also bad because if it still has old files, maybe of which I don't care about, so I guess it truly didn't format my hard drive.
