Vista RC1

I have just finished having a little play with Windows Vista RC1. What a fantastic improvement on XP! To be honest XP has been kicking for a while now (its nearly 6 years), so its about time Microsoft got on with things. I have had a play with Internet Explorer 7 Beta also, and was impressed at the 'improvement' in standards support. I say 'improvement' because as Roger Johansson pointed out, its not all there yet.

The Flip-3D feature of Vista is fantastic also. Very smart and it doesn't hit the processor as hard as you may think.

Vista also has a points system for how powerful your computer is. My system has an overall score of 4.9, meaning the lowest score I got for a single category was 4.9. My ATI Radeon 9800XT graphics card scored a 5.9 in the 'graphics power' category, meaning I don't have to upgrade as soon as I thought I would.

On a side note, the Playstation 2 is set up now, meaning I can complete some of my games before I go out and buy any more!
