I love this, especially the second one. After playing around with
Vista,
I tend to agree. On the other hand Vistas usability will probably
increase when you use it for longer.

I suppose so. Still I think Win 2000 was the peak of MS operating
systems. Unfortunately it has been downhill from there.

Next, I need to load Office and Visual Studio




In any case, I went ahead and installed SUSE 10.2 and had a major
issue with the system locking up. Loading the binary NVidia drivers
fixed that and all is well...

Wow! And a great wallpaper.

What castle is this and where did you get it from?

Burg Hohenzollern in southern Germany.

I used to be able to see it from my dorm window when I studied there.
It just looks cool, IMO.





...now the last thing I needed was XP to be loaded for those apps
requiring it at work. Being a dual-core 2.x GHz processor with 2G
RAM,
this can handle VMWare no problem. So, I'm now done...

great!

At least you got something that makes use of all that engine
power. ;-))

For me, it even works ok with my old 750mhz thinkpad where XP is
running
in a 384MB-vmware on top of a slick Xubuntu.

Wow - 750MHz - that's impressive. And I think my laptop is too slow. :P
