You just put me off my lunch.

So George, how is the performance of Vista for you and what computer hardware do you have?

[george]

The box is a 2 year old Pentium 4 Dual 3GHz. 2MB RAM. Two Philips 19" screens. NVIDIA Gforce card.

Vista didn't liked that old crap, so I had to use some profanity and half a box of Chang...

Vista is nice! I managed to get a Vista Business OEM for 6,600 Baht.

My first computer was in 1980. ABC80.

It had a Z80 processor. First storage media was a regular C30 cassette tape.

My first computer I built myself based on the Altair board in 1975. Did a lot of assembly language work with it including modifications of it's eprom BIOS. Highly educational and has made me the mad scientist I am today.

Reimar: Thanks for posting that pic. I used to have it - but lost it.

I've often wondered about the 'steering wheel' in the pic. Were they thinking about 'Driving Games' back then, or was it for some other purpose?

As it looks like it was taken off a tugboat, my guess it was for "navigating" the Internet.... even tho' it hadn't been invented yet.

Sorry, that picture is a fake.

The photo is actually a mock-up of a submarine's maneuvering room. Read the story here .

This is my desktop.

Please note that since Vmware released the 6.0 beta, we can use Vista to run virtual machines. Please also note that I have running Mac OSX 10.4.3 inside a VM. Nice you can have the best of both worlds right on your vista desktop

Did you need a special motherboard to use individual (128k?) RAM chips?
