KIC ION Storm

As I said in my last post Vista is faster than XP for me. The one thing I didn't like (which I turned off) Was User Account Control, the thing that came with XP firewall that said block unblock or not sure, well its in Vista, you click run, it then asks you again so no wonder the kid was able to use it without AV.On the downside, I am still looking for a good AV that works with Vista, regardless of M$'s statements about Kernel lock down, as with my Xbox, that runs Linux ha ha

Forgot to mention. As a gamer I reinstalled Far Cry, Battlefield 2142 and Half Life 2 with no issues.FPS were up, lag reduced and the beta Vista drivers from Nvidia were incredible.Only prog not to work was Nero Premium but a quick call to M$ and Ahead has resulted in a new patch winging its way to me this coming week.ION

I've been beta testing Vista since M$ released the first version and I must admit I had some serious issues with RC1 & RC2, things like a program would crash, you check online for a fix and Vista says "This will be fixed in the final version".Anyway I recently received RTM build from M$ and I must admit its amazing, and yes some elements are MAC clones but other features such as Windows DVD Maker etc just add delight to the OS. Its stable, no driver issues, self cleans without user interference (If you're busy it will wait, even if midway through)...Auto update on certain OS drivers is clean, takes less space than XP and on a final note, I'm running the Ultimate version which M$ says won't run on my machine:P4 HT 2.93Ghz1Gb RAM80Gb HDDNvidia Geforce 6200le (128Mb onboard 128MB Shared)It runs perfect, no slow down, no hang, no problems, even with Aeroglass on...Anyone thinking of upgrading to Vista, I'd recommend it. Just one thing, if you don't have a TV tuner, don't bother with the Media Center element.ION Storm
