I had to replace my laptop. The old one died about a month ago.
This is the first computer I've ever bought that I DIDN'T start fooling around with it as soon as I got it home. I actually noticed the fact. I thought I was growing up.
Then when I booted the beast (Compaq, 2 gigs of memory, 160 gig hard drive, NVidia graphics, Athlon 64 bit processor) I remembered.
Vista.
Vista Home Premium, in fact. Gah. Just different enough from XP Professional to be annoying, DRM built in and all the excessive eye candy you could ever want. Or not want.
I think I'll install the minimum software I need for next week. When I get back from DC I think I'll see how Linux fits.
