When Vista's being a pain...
Just run it virtually
  Recall my problems previously with Vista? Well I'm now running it under VMWare; actually posting using it! I don't get all the pretty features with Areo on the emulated GPU and all, but it does well enough for me to learn how stable vista is and all. Honestly, it's not that bad, either. Unfortunetly, I must be off...busy day tomorrow... I'll play with this more over the weekend

And honestly Aero is pretty much a useless little gimmick that's just a flashier version of Alt+Tab. A bunch of crap in my humble opinion...

Yeah... I'm more concerned about getting the general fell for it than anything, but making it pretty would be nice too

I'm interested to see if the BSOD is any prettier...
(Haven't seen it, yet...)
