 Awesome OS October 2, 2008

Windows Vista Home Basic w. SP 1 is the best Windows offering yet, more security, awesome new features and beautiful graphics. MAC OS X and Vista sp 1 are the only way to go for solid operating systems, both offer amazing unique features and you can now run Vista on a MAC. 5/5 Great job Microsoft.
AVOID Linux it sucks...

The sole porpuse I want a windows machine is to have Flight Simulator on it. I am a mac user, for 99% else. Well I bought a pc with Windows Vista Home Basic SP1. Here are the list of problems i have found.
1.) For some extrange reason Vista wanted to be activated twice. The second time It will tell me that I could not activate because the key was already in use. It never told me that the solution was to activate by phone, but I guessed so by posts in the internet. I called the phone number it give in my country, It was busy all the time. I tried for a couple of hours and it was busy. So I called a phone in the US, and I succedded, and went to that lengthly proccess of 9 blocks of six number. It worked. Well It took me more than 3 hours to figure all this,
2.) I tried to install Flight Sim x, and installation will hang without any reason. It will just stop ! and that is it. Not a single error message. It will just die there. I tried twice and the installation died in different places.
3.) I tied to do a windows update. It found an update for my video card and a realtek usb controller. It falied installation with a cryptic error.
4.) I am doing a share of a drive in a windows xp virtual machine, to try to install flightsim. I hope I succeed.
Its terrible how Microsoft assumes that we all are software pirates by inforcing that horrid activation proccess. It will be beareable if windows vista will do its work after that.
