Vista Ultimate, F7, XP Home & Server 2K3 R2 (Day 2)

 Well lets start with the bad, Server 2K3 outright refuses to install. F7 After having to reinstall it is running like crap and the Nvidia drivers don't seem to be working correctly, I may just re-install things in XP and Vista I'm not in the mood for rubbish.

XP surprised me with a small drizzle of stupidity when it, without warning me, rewrote my MBR. Those 3 letters have been nothing but headache for the day but Vista has a nice startup recovery tool that reclaimed the MBR and put back in my boot list nicely. Last night I reported that Vista automatically detected, located and then informed me of my Webcam drivers, thoroughly impressing me. Today I can report the drivers won't install so its a waste anyway.

Two things have really left their mark on me today, and those are the Vista Parental Controls and EasyBCD really have to thank 'Cool Cat' for the heads up. It makes the multi-boot so simple and it works so well I just have nothing to complain about. With regards to the parental controls, I've had some time to play with it and I'll be happy to let my younger siblings use the PC. I can limit program access, time at the computer, game ratings and, of course, the level of internet content available to them.

On a big side note I signed my contract to start as a field engineer today, looking forward to starting next week.
