Motorola SLVR and Microsoft Vista
When I said “tomorrow” in the previous post, I actually meant “next month sometime when I can be hassled with it”. Anyway, here’s the moneyshot of my new cellphone.
I’ve been using Microsoft Windows Vista for a few days now, and I have to say that I rather like it, compatibility aside. A few things don’t work too well with it such as my printer, which HP has decided to drag their asses on making drivers for. Luckily, their “solution” is to load up a driver for a different printer in a makeshift way to avoid developing stuff for users. Way to go for cutting a few bucks, HP.
The part about Vista that I absolutely adore is the Games browser. Any installed games are placed here and it gives you a single place to run any game you have from. Luckily, Vista Business, the version I have, doesn’t come preinstalled with any of those games such as Solitaire, Hearts, Minesweeper, and the like. Just to give you an idea of what the browser looks like, here’s a shot of it in action.
It gives you all sorts of useless information that adds a cool factor to it. As a test, I even installed some older games such as Tribes 2 and Starcraft and it detected them flawlessly. As you can see, some newer games are listed as well, so the list Microsoft has is quite extensive.
