Uninspiring Vista
by Volker Weber
I don't have a single computer fit for Vista, and I currently have no intent to change that. So, no first hand experience.
I couldn't wait to finally see and use the long-delayed operating system that I had been reading and writing about for more than three years. Regardless of widespread skepticism, I was confident that Vista would dazzle me, and I looked forward to saying so in print.
Ironically, playing around with Vista for more than a month has done what years of experience and exhortations from Mac-loving friends could not: it has converted me into a Mac fan.

Excellent article.
I installed Vista Ultimate Edition on my Pentium 3 Notebook (HP Omnibook XE3) with 1066 MHz, 512 Megs RAM and 20 GB Disk. My Grafik"card" is a shared memory Chip with 8 MB.
Vista runs really good on that. Aero-Look is turned out off course by the system. Don't need it anyway.
