Waste of Time
Installed Vista.
God is that an understatement. First, I spent two hours fucking around in my stock PC case so that I could put a second hard drive in. Then, I spent fucking three hours installing the goddamned beast (8 gig base install) because the setup hung for 15 to 20 minutes on EVERY STEP. JESUS! Then, setup otherwise was easy and painless. Though, I noticed after I installed my audio drivers that the sound was bit tinny. I turned up my sub but it still came through. Odd, but bearable. So it's a relatively gorgeous OS, a little bit more functional than XP (I wasn't cussing at the interface too much...) but still, as Benron kept asking, it doesn't best OS X, at least not in my opinion.
So, this morning, I realize why the sound was tinny: the rear speakers weren't working. I tried to reinstall the driver, and i tested a different driver. No luck. So, after a 10 minute switch, those 5 hours of work are wasted. But that's okay. XP is doing fine for me.
