    My new HP dv9205us laptop finally came. It came with Vista home premium on it, which, contrary to popular belief, is actually not using not that slow.

    Windows Vista is a resource hog, yes, that is very true. My laptop came with 1gb ram, a 120 gb HDD, and a 288mb graphics card. The cards memory is shared in that 1 gigabyte. The RAm usuage meter hovers around 48%-79% on average. I have a hard time getting it much further over while doing something useful/interesting. Meaning, when I am playing Silkroad online and doing my daily virus scan at the same time, the RAM usage hovers around 85%-80%. I have only rarely used any more than 85%.

    So my main compliant of Vista is by far it's resource usage. So whats my favorite feature? No, it is not aero. It is the built in Speech Recognition tool. It works okay in the beginning. But, as you keep using it, it gets better.

So vista is okay now as it is, but there are better alternitives. Wait for SP1.

Well I am sort of back, trying to get my blog off the dead side of things.

I've bought a brand new 17" Wide screen HD laptop for 799! With Vista... There en lies the problem, I am certainly not expecting it to be better than OS X but at least it will play games! I'll post a review when it finally arrives.
