I installed Vista on Thursday. I chose not to upgrade but rather to install in a new partition and duel boot. I was forced to really because we've had at least 5 customers this week phoning to query about Vista. Installation was painless and very quick (faster than XP). On Thursday I got frustrated and switched back to XP because I needed to get real some work done. Today, after switching off all the visual garbage (and the god damn blurry fonts!) and finally getting explorer to work like I wanted it's growing on me. There's still some things I still haven't got right but it's usable. I really hate that new font, looks like it was designed by a kid, the spacing is far too wide. A bit like MS Comic. So far I've spotted a few problems with our main app, but nothing show stopping. Scrollbars look a bit odd for some reason. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
