Vista blues

We installed Windows Vista Beta 1 in the office on one of our spare Celeron 2.2 Ghz with 256MB RAM just to check whats new on the Microsoft OS.

Turned out to be okay, fairly smooth installation, although it took a while for ti to install on the next reboot and there is no progress bar to indicating how much time is left for it to configure the devices. After a few minutes Vista's all fire up and we logged in. Looks like mush more of WinXP, a little bit flashier. The biggest upset wasa we cant join it to our network domain for some unknown reason. It says the Primary domain is not syncronized with the time server? What the he'll is that? hhmmm never happened on one any WIn2k or WinXP PC we have here in the office.

Bottom line, I reformatted it and installed Windows XP instead and coverted it to a mini file server ;)
