Vista impressions. (part 2)

Well after sometime of running Vista I still have to say it's just OK. Nothing to run out and by right away unless you have a brand new machine. Supposedly within a year they are going to have SP1, so it may be wise to wait. Being a computer science student, I was very interested so I had to jump on the bandwagon. I got a copy of the Business edition from my school's MSDN.

One of the biggest problems that I have ran into is with IE7 and Flash sites. I found a fix today, which made everything go away, but it was frustrating to say the least. I'm not 100% for IE, but I wanted to give it a new chance. Here is the fix.

Supposedly the version of Flash that is actually "needed" you have to run separately. Although it is included in the download.

Hopefully the drivers from HP will be updated tomorrow. There are a few things that are not working as great as I had hoped, namely the builtin webcam and quickplay, but hopefully there will be updates soon.
