This really is 1 for all of you readers who;ve had trouble setting up Windows Vista. Don;t really feel poor. Even some Microsoft developers — who have the Vista team on premise — can;t manage to upgrade to Vista.Microsoft developer Andy Pennell wanted to install Vista at home. (Pennell is a developer on HDi, the interactivity layer for HD DVD.)He bought a copy of Vista Ultimate. And then all hell broke loose — as he blogged this week in a post entitled “Putting in Vista: My Personal Hell.” Trouble started for Pennell early,Office Professional 2010 Activation Key (http://www.msoffice2010key.net/), when he tried to get the media out of the new,Office 2010 Home And Student 32 bits (http://www.office2010key.ca/), curved Vista packaging:“I was seriously considering a trip to the garage and to smash the box open with a hammer,Office 2010 Standard 32bit (http://www.msoffice2010key.net/), when I discovered another transparent sticker that was holding two parts together. With that gone, the box moved a few more millimeters, until I realised the thing opens sideways,Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (http://www.office2010key.eu/), and boom: Vista was opened. I;ve installed entire operating systems more quickly and with less stress than opening this box…”From there, things only got worse:“Short story: setting up Vista for me was a catalog of problems, some mine and some not. … (Things) went downhill to include weekend-long unsuccessful installs,Microsoft Office 2010 Standard clave (http://www.office2010key.eu/), bricking my PC, and exercising my Dell warranty to get a replacement motherboard, hard-drive and secondary hard-drive. And after all that, guess what: I still haven;t installed it.”Pennell;s conclusions:* “Vista cannot install to Dynamic discs (which is the default when you add a new drive to XP): switch them to Basic before attempting a Vista install* “Only update your BIOS if you have good warranty cover on the motherboard, or are feeling lucky* “Unplug memory card visitors before installing* “Dell;s warranty and support organization rock* “My particular hardware cannot install Vista, and no-one knows why.”Bring on Windows Seven!
