Ok, this is the first post I am writing from my new laptop, just got HP Pavilion dv6000, liked it till now, im happy with MS Works, just in time to help me with my extended essay to be submitted on Sunday. OpenOffice was kind of bugging me, it doesnt have grammar correction.
Well windows Vista does not look that good to me, I mean after all these years, thats all they could do? I had no expectations either, did not care to look at beta’s or anything. Well they have made the user interface a lot better i must say. Still in my opinion xgl/compiz would look better. It crashed and restarted in the first 30 minutes I started using it. XP can do better than that, oh i forgot its still windows. Otherwise things seem to be smooth for now. I removed norton, it would have started bugging me more than any virus after after 60 days of subscription expires.
I dont really like the login screen very much, the circular windows start button seriously looks crap and look at that internet explorer icon, its soo ugly. Otherwise internet explorer seems much better than what im used to. But still I didnt trust it with saving my passwords.
I love the wide screen, the taskbar can show more programs so can the browser more tabs. Havnt really tried out much, just changed the mouse sensitivity to my liking and now just a blog post, then its work! I just hope linux has good support for this machine…
