Vista and me, Day 3....
Aug. 16th, 2007 04:19 pmNow that I have all my files, bookmarks, mail, and settings copied over from the old machine to the new machine, I'm feeling more comfortable with Vista. Although I wish Microsoft would have left some of the XP look and feel alone since I was used to it. (Why do they have to change the cosmetics every 5 years? Newer isn't necessarily better.)
This doesn't mean that I'm gonna run out and buy Vista. No way. Win98 was good enough for me, until newer apps (this year's TurboTax) and hardware (flash drives bigger than 512 Mb) didn't run on it. And I know my way around XP now. The only reason I have Vista is that the new computer came with it. And it would have cost too much money to buy memory for the older system.
And I'm still running MS Office 2002 on this box, because that's what I could get my hands on.
Still to do: Figure out how to run Tomcat on Vista. I think I'm still missing something, like an environment variable setting. And I need to keep the old machine around because I still have files checked out from SourceSafe when I was still working on it. I'm gonna have to schlep the files back to the old system so I can check them in when I'm ready to do so.
