Man vs Machine, Round 3 - I WON!

Picture the scene, darkened room, gently glowing monitor in the far corner, a siloette of my body stretched across the floor from the piercing light behind me as I stand, staring at my arch enemy...

As I boldly step towards to the machine, adrenaline pumping, the "Eye of the tiger" theme song going round in my head...the pressure, oh the pressure!! - then, suddenly my phone rang...who could it be I said to myself. "Hello??", "Broski!" - ah yes, the only living sole on this rock we call home that calls me "Broski". After a good 10 minute chat with my brother I faced the machine once again, Cuppa in hand and the light on this time.

Wasn't really a battle at all, I threw the Windows Vista installer DVD into the machine's drive and let it do it's stuff. About an hour later it was finished, slight glitch with the graphics card drivers but once they were installed everything's running sweet!

Windows Vista (Ultimate Edition) is great, I love it. Looks like, the menu changes seem sensible and logical.

It seems I've won and Vista scored one back for the Big 'M'.

Microsoft 1 - 2 Ubuntu
Lets see what happens next time I want to install Vista (or some other OS!)
Stay safe peeps
