Vista, F7 Day 1

Hell.

That is what it has been so far. I've learned that Vista doesn't take kindly to being second fiddle and it completely hates GRUB. I ended up, after much trial and error, having to reinstall XP Home and Upgrading to Vista to get it work. I'll detail the process later, its 2:27am and I have to be up in a bout 5 hours so I'm thinking trying to put back in F7 is a bad Idea. Yeah, tried fedora 7 and the updates aren't readily apparent and little things like automatically detecting I have a second drive still don't happen so manual mounting and more fstab updating just to access my file drive.

I'll say this Vista is very pretty. Fedora will have to prove its worth with performance, Vista is a resource hog like no other. On a side note, it just popped up and asked me if I wanted to download drivers for my webcam from the time when dinosaurs roamed. I hate to say it but I'm impressed.

Will test drive the parental controls when I get back in tomorrow, well today. Sever 2003 R2 and F7 need to be installed and I'll give EasyBCD a run. Should be a fun day.
