Upgrade to Vista Ultimate

After using Windows XP for quite a while for my development PC, I decided to update it to Vista Ultimate yesterday. This decision was also triggered with the release of Service Pack 1 by Microsoft to fix the problems with the first release of Windows Vista. The upgrade itself was quite good I must say, it took me more less 2 hours to complete the whole update and I have to spent another hour to install the Service Pack 1.  After the upgrade, all my files are still in the right place, even my applications are still there!. Adobe Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, Firefox 3, etc still runs perfectly. Looks like Microsoft has done their homework.

The decisions to update to Windows Vista is simply because I had quite a nice specs on my PC and until when are we going to use XP?, we have to move forward people, I know that the specs to runs Windows Vista at a decent speed is high, but if you think about it, its a brand new OS, and  every release of Windows need a higher specs also. I remembered the release of Windows XP several years ago, people also bashing it as it was really prone to security attacks, really high specs requirement also.. but after couple of years,  72.6% of operating systems in this world are using Windows XP.
