Well, it's working. Mostly.

New computer (aka Gray-Hermit) is set up. The old computer (Dark-Tower) is either going to be turned into little more then a repository for mp3s, or cleaned up and given away.

I have turned off that Aero crap (Oh look, it's Vista, but with the look and feel of Windows Classic), moved all my mp3s over, and gotten WoW and the Lich King beta reinstalled. I still need to put Photoshop, ImageReady, and Bryce back on here, but now I have the damn space to do so... 500 Gb hard drive is nice. Got my e-mail set back up, Firefox 3 installed (and a theme that doesn't look like ass), and mostly tweaked the way I want it.

Oh, and I've already checked. I can turn all the graphics in WoW up to full and it runs better that way then my old computer did. Hell, I could probably run City of Heroes during a Rikti Invasion and not have issues now. (Okay, probably still some issues. Rikti invasions thrash video cards like you wouldn't believe.)

Whenever I decide to upgrade OS's I will also put more memory in. The processor is a 64bit processor, so that's not an issue. I just don't feel like going to Vista yet, with it's issues.

You assume that your hardware will be compatible with whatever MS decides to release as their next OS.


Also, a lot of the issues with Vista have been addressed. It's significantly better (but still not phenominal) than it was at release.


Basically, you paid a few hundred extra for parts of your computer to sit around and fuck off.

Until I am satisfied with Vista, yes, quite probably.

Which may be never, since you're a picky bastard.

And going with your "I'm waiting for the next OS", that's 2 years away.


The hardware you currently have will be obsolute (effectively) by them, in that it won't have the capability to run (at great effectiveness) games that are out then.


Congratulations, you paid extra money for an inefficient way to heat your house.
