I never thought I would like Vista with Microsofts operating systems seemingly getting worse before from the looks of it finally getting better. I think part of what I’m liking is that it doesn’t feel like Windows. It feels more like using a Linux or Mac. I instantly fell in love with the nice bright 17″ widescreen. I have had them side-by-side and my old laptop looks “goth” in screen color compared to the new laptop.

I haven’t had this hooked up much to my 22″ widescreen because it doesn’t look much bigger and I need to install the drivers for it. It is nice to finally have a number pad to type with again! The built-in camera has been fun so far and what I tried opening the laptop with the first try. whoops!

What are you driving these days?
