What’s new in Windows Vista — a quick glance
I bought a new Compaq Presario notebook. It came with Microsoft Vista Home Basic. Lifting up the cover, I found a one-page note saying the notebook will go through serious optimization for twenty some minutes and don’t panic if it goes dark screen or reboot. Sure enough, it did all that without prompting me for any input. This makes you wonder why they don’t finish this step at factory?! Circuit City actually have their Firedog technitians work on some of them and sell it for $50 more, since now the box is opened and marked with a sharpie saying ‘Optimized’.
