Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

I have to say that the instructions on the Microsoft Vista installation page are a bit vague.  It tells you that after you download the 2.62GB .iso file (if you choose the download option) that you have to burn it to a DVD and install it that way.  I wasted 4 or 5 DVDs before I got online and tracked down a freeware DVD burner called DVD Decrypter.  It is quicker than my other burning software and it has all the necessary options for me to burn the disc the way it needed to be.  At 6.45pm this evening, I began the installation venture and it finally ended around 9.30pm.  I like the look of it so far.  I installed the 32-bit version per advice from my brother (Microsoft employee) because of less-likelihood of compatibility issues with all my existing software.  Vista reports a compatibility problem with my touchpad driver even though it still works fine. StopZILLA says it is now expired, but I haven't tried to solve that problem yet.  I had to get a new installation key for SwishMAX, but that was no problem at all.  I'll continue to update the blog as I use more of my programs.

P.S. Office 2007 Pro works fine… go figure…
