Windows Vista in October Part 1

I’ve been stuck with using Windows Vista I am performing renovations as my other PC. It has become clear to me that if you use Vista you can’t use your favorite older programs. Even more annoying is that you can’t share your videos with others (natively) since it puts DRM on everything. The only way is to get a other company’s video editing program. (Also some of my favorite games won’t work.)

The Media center part of Vista is still proving a challenge. It promises so much yet fails to deliver. For example changing channels sometime takes forever and that annoying recording function really !!!###!!!! me. So it still does not show the name of the program I’m watching – this simple thing is a standard feature of DTV. By contrast the Mac Mini is so simple to use and works as you would expect. Press record and it records until you tell it to stop or until it runs out of drive space and it even show the name of the program you’re watching.

Hopefully my older PC will be up and running by the end of the week and I’ll be happy again.

I feel my opinion on these things is known via my prior article and anyone who has been illegally fined will understand. If these things are not accurate why persist?
