Windows Vista - Observations Tuesday, February 6th, 2007
Problem Software
Apple iTunes: Apple say to wait for the next version
WS-FTP Pro 2006: My FTP Client, This wont install at all so I am using the free FileZilla from (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/)
DeskShare’s: My Screen Recorder Pro: The website says it supports Vista, but I get major screen corruption and the video is unusable. This is possibly Video Card Driver Related.
Problem Hardware
As I posted yesterday some Video/Monitor Issues.
Resources

Windows Vista loves memory. It could possibly just grabbing more than it needs because it can. But Windows XP used to idle at 160mb to 250mb of ram usage. Window Vista after a days use sits at 1169mb. Big Difference.
Battery
Due to the eye candy on offer and using the video card much more the Battery life seems to suffer quite a bit.Â
General
The filing system seems a bit complicated. Instead I have reverted to using the search to find what I need. Thankfully search works really well and is fast.
