Update: Dave’s Vista Upgrade

vista-upgrade.jpg

So much for getting Vista this month… or even next month. Looks like I’m slated for a mid-April delivery. I’m no math whiz, but that doesn’t seem like 6-8 weeks after US launch. “Express Upgrade” is a bit misleading… Bah!

Between the numerous hotfixes in the works and at least one report that editing DVR-MS isn’t functional, I’ll try being patient. Though I’ve got to say, the interface is pretty slick. I especially like the way Gadgets are visible and docked. Is it possible to do this with Dashboard? Yes, I know Yahoo Widgets and Google Desktop have similar functionality… But I’m a sucker for sexy, and Vista gadgets are.

We are developing software for Vista at work… Perhaps they should give me a copy to run in Parallels. For demos. ;)

  1. Thanks, Andy! At the very least I now have a sticky note on my desktop.

    I find that wide screen aspect ratio gives me extra room that I don’t always put to use. On the left side I stuck my Dock and on the right are icons and now my sticky.

    On my XP MCE desktop (19″ widescreen), I have a toolbar on the left side as well.
