Vista Gigabit Performance Issues: Fixed
Like quite a few folks, I've been plagued by issues with Vista on a Gigabit LAN, namely seeing throughput that's a fraction of what it should be. I tried the fixes Scott Hanselman outlined in his excellent Vista Gigabit post to no avail. The Google gods must have been smiling on me yesterday... Read More...

Windows PowerShell Has RTM'd
You can snag it here . If you want to install it on Vista, you'll have to wait while MS lawyers wrangle with the Vista EULA . I'm personally lovin' me some Powershell (even though the name is so bleh). Keyvan recently posted about a great tool for help wading through the plethora of commands available... Read More...

First Thoughts On Windows Vista RTM
No, this post isn't meant to be an exhaustive review (or even a simple one)...there are tons of those already written up by folks who review software for a living. This will just be a short blurb. My first impression after installing the final release recently? It's a huge improvement performance-wise... Read More...

Microsoft, I'm Pleading With You
I've mentioned this before, but I'm going to mention it again: Microsoft is absolutely killing me with their version mismatching versioning scheme as of late. A list of complaints: The .Net Framework v3.0 is anything but a major release...hell, it's barely even a point release. It should be called .Net... Read More...

Vista Doesn't Like My New Memory DIMM
So I made the first of my readiness upgrades for Vista today: I installed a second 1 gig DIMM of RAM in my machine...same brand and speed as the existing DIMM, lo and behold the memory test in Vista actually dropped 2/10ths of a point, from 4.2 to 4.0 (~5% decrease). I wasn't expecting it to go up, but... Read More...

Getting Ready For Vista -- Geek Wishlist
Now that the Vista release is officially right around the corner, I have an excuse to make some hardware upgrades to my workstation box (no, I don't really need new hardware, but then again who really does).

Windows Vista RC2 -- Finally Took The Plunge
I've been avoiding all of the Vista CTP/Beta/RC releases like the plague (I've installed 2 CTPs over the past year, and they were very early on): A) I just don't have time to keep up with them all and B) I just really don't have time to keep up with them all. However with the announcement from Microsoft... Read More...
