After watching John Bristowe's demo on Atlas last Thursday and seeing him use Windows Vista RC1 during the demo, I have decided to install Windows Vista RC1 on my desktop.

It is a quiet Saturday and I am hung over so I figure I will  have a lot of time to sleep while I wait for the long installation process. Hopefully, I will go to bed and when I wake up Vista will be installed. I will update this post as it installs.

 Update #1: I currently see a gray and black screen telling me "Please wait a moment while Windows prepares to start for the first time". There is also a lot of this action "..............................."

Update #2: This isn't taking as long as I thought and I haven't went to bed yet. It is completing the installation now. How will I sleep off my hangover now?

 Update #3: Completing the installation is taking forever. I am off to bed. Hopefully it will be done when I get up.

Update #4: I am awake now. This post must be popular because it seems like everyone read it and knew that I was sleeping and tried to phone me. I now see a screen asking me for a username and password, and login icon. Being a geek, I am going to pick the robot icon. 

I have made it through all the setup screens and now Vista is checking my computers performance, I hope Vista isn't disappointed with it.

Logging in for the first time now...Success! This rules, the experience is pleasant and my video card is only a NVidia GeForce2 Ti. Too bad I have a poker game to go to or else I would play around a bit more.
