Long Adieu...

It has been a rough journey, and the wait was excruciating.

Finally... Vista on my lappie! Eat that (for all your Vista whiners)!

avanadedesktop  

Although I have to admit not without quirks.. Although I had been using Vista since RC1, and I have a Vista running on my gaming (!)machine, these are the odd things that I am trying to figure out with the Avanade build:

  1. DHCP problems with my WRT54G on Thibor - Applied http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233 but not fully working yet,
  2. "Route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 n.n.n.n" does not work anymore, instead, use "route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 n.n.n.n", some of you guys sitting at customers would know what this is about... (talk to me if you are not sure....),
  3. Firefox keep prompting a million times when trying to authenticate with the ISA Server (as proxy). It does work eventually, but blardy annoying...

Many other colleague have complaint about the UAC thing, the non-local admin thing, and "slow" thing... All user problem :P

Will report back with more observance.

p/s the DVD boot works like a charm... the WIM image got loaded in less than 30 mins!
