#88 - Vista ramblings

A customer bought a wireless mouse and keyboard to work with their new Vista Laptop. I decided to sell them the Microsoft brand, figuring it would not have Vista issues. Well you could see this coming, of course the driver in the box DID NOT WORK with Vista and I had to download one from the Microsoft site. The Microsoft site was not very clear in what was required to make this system work and it took two downloads and I had to run two driver programs (1 for the keyboard and 1 for the mouse) even though this was a system sold in 1 box. Sheesh.

On the other hand, I have been impressed with the Network Utilities found in Vista. It is easier and clearer to set up a home/small business network with Vista. Now having said that, it really wasn't that much harder to set up a network in XP, just a couple more steps.

Well Vista will be our only choice come February. Enjoy
