I did my first official Windows Vista install on Tuesday night. A good friend wanted to “make the leap” with the new PC he was purchasing. His logic was sound enough. “I’m going to need to upgrade eventually, might as well do it now when the hardware is new and I have to reinstall everything anyway.”

I have just heard the first reports back and he described it as “Blown Away.” He seems to be enjoying Vista itself, beyond the new hardware benefits he is getting. I hope that my cautionary tales of Vista’s successes and failures helped him in having a positive, yet realistic, mindset for the transition. I will gather more in depth information tonight and we’ll see if the initial enthusiasm holds up under scrutiny.
