Vista Revisited

I'm blogging in a new office laptop (a Sony Vaio NR series with C2D 1.6 Ghz, 2Gb RAM and a huge 200 Gb hard disk.)

It has Vista Home Premium. Given my previous Vista experience, I was not excited about this, to say the least.

But since it was already there, I was not about to downgrade to XP because that would be expensive. So I decided to give this operating system another chance.

The Vista revisit (pardon the pun) was not bad, I have to admit. I got Firefox to run (because IE7 still sucked) in this machine and as it turns out, when it's on form, it's XP will the eye-candy.

I particularly like the visual effects in this one and it already approximates OSX Tiger.

But it's still Tiger that it approximates. It does not even equal it. Then, there's Leopard...

Unfortunately, this experience, though somewhat pleasant comes, at a price. First, it has to be Home Premium, minimum. Second, the specs have to be so high.

But in any case, admittedly, I have to revise my opinion on Vista given this new computer we have.

So that's my experience with Vista so far...

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
