Got my TV tuner installed, media center picked it up. All is

Sorry it’s a few days late, I did promise someone in a training course I would put this up last week but it’s just been a bit hectic.

Windows Vista, some people want it, some people don’t, some people just aren’t sure. For those who do and those who need some encouragement, there’s a tool that will tell you what hardware and software you need to upgrade 1st or if you need to upgrade at all.I don’t want to go on about this tool because it is pretty self explanatory, but I will say one thing. It’s not perfect, it is to be used as a guide. The software side of things are not always correct. Or sometimes just a little unnecessary , like telling you that windows messenger will need to be upgraded. The Vista upgrade should handle that!

The tool is obviously from Microsoft, and you can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/buyorupgrade/upgradeadvisor.mspx

So Vista was released recently. Looking very different from XP, lots of new features, more bundled software and considered by most to be a ‘major’ update to the Windows OS. Then there is Windows Mobile 6, not quite major improvement I was hoping for.

I recently started to see some of the ‘hype’ about WM6 (Previously Crossbow). So I started to dig around trying to find out some more. I should explain, I have an O2 XDA Exec running WM5, which I do like! It practically runs my life (The Battery died on it the other day and I can’t remember the number of things I forgot whilst I didn’t have my XDA). So when I saw there may be a chance to ‘improve’ what I’ve got, I got excited. As much as I love my XDA there are areas that could do with being improved!
Unfortunately I must say I was quickly disappointed with what I read about the ‘new’ version.
