Re: [HP3000-L] OT: Office 2007 installation warning
Maybe that blue screens are due to a weak memory module. Worth cleaning
contacts.
Have installed a dozen Vista setups, from Home to Ultimate, both in X32
and X64 flavors, and under Virtual Pc, with blue screens caused only by a
faluty video driver.
After upgrading it, no more problems in the last two months (it is my
main laptop).
Just my two cents.

Denys,
It is just a test box, used as a learning tool.
The blues screens of death came after I installed a clean WinXP. Go
figure.
I didn't mind loosing programs, because there were none installed. I was
just warning the masses.

{behavior:url(#default#VML);} Hello Craig,
When it comes to Vista upgrades, run, run far and run fast. It is always
the case when a new OS comes out. As a stubborn IT professional, you
should know better than to do an upgrade to a new OS, right when it comes
out. Getting a new PC with Vista installed on it is one thing, upgrading
an existing PC to Vista is something else; don’t do it.

Denys and Everyone,
I have one machine running Vista and Office 2007, my comments...
Vista: not ready for prime time... I had two blue screens trying to
install it and it took about 6 hours time to complete (3 attempts were
made). If I were not a stubborn IT professional, I would have given up.
Bottom line, wait for the 1st service pack and all the preiphal drivers to
be ready (read NVIDIA).
BTW, I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Business... the is NO upgrade
path, Vista will rename the Window directory from WINDOWS to WINDOWS.old
and do a "fresh" install.
Meaning all programs will need to be reinstalled. This is a BIG
downfall for most companies.
Oh, and the Aero glass, is a lot of marketing hype. I can use it, but
I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Office 2007: A little bit more mature, but there is still a learning
curve for the new interface.
Ahh, life on the bleeding edge.

I installed the latest version of Office software emanating from
Redmond.
To my dismay, it somehow eliminated all my mail rules and that means I
received all messages to 3000-L unfiltered, so I see that Herr Baier is
still actively supporting the terrorists.
I have since reestablished most of my rules, but I am sure I am missing a
few still.
I upgraded from Office 2003. So far, it's been a pretty good experience
but
I have to get used to quite a few changes in appearance and command
selection.
