New Lappy!

It is quite awesome.

 

Very nice to have a clean slate that I haven't screwed up with loads of downloaded @&*^!! While the OS was setting up, I compiled a list of the programs I really use, various utilities like 7-zip and TeraCopy, etc. got all that stuff installed and now it's basically usable.

 

Speaking of which, stick with Vista vs. upgrade to Windows 7, pros/cons of each? Anyone more tech-savvy with some suggestions?

 

Oh yeah, just for a change, I installed OpenOffice instead of MS Office. I'll have to get used to using it, I guess, but I may as well. Keep with the times, eh?

 

Currently transferring 42.57 gigs of data, and then I'll basically be done. All that's left is little stuff like what wallpaper I'm gonna use...

 

Hmm... wonder what I should name her...

Getting the new computer was one of the best things. Clean slates are fun. :3

 

NAME IT LAPTOP

 

Anyways, I'm holding off on Windows 7 because I really only care about how the UI looks and right now I just managed to install themes with Vista's SP2, so I don't want to go back to gross Windows themes. I mean Aero is cool, but just not my thing.

Heard that Windows 7 was very much like Vista, so I'd stick with Vista first. As long as you don't try to mess around with the OS itself and just install programs it is a very stable system. In my one year with Vista It only crashed 5 or 6 times in total.

See, my desktop is on XP, and over the past year of heavy usage it's crashed... actually I can't remember it crashing at all. Not the whole system at least, if you mean programs not responding yes, but that's easily taken care of with task manager.

Everything I've heard states that Windows 7 is superior to both Vista and (more importantly) XP in just about every way, so I'd go for it.

 

P.S. Name her Sally. Or Hexadecimal.
