It have been a busy week after coming back from a 10 days trip. Things have been piling up and new things have been coming up. Also, I have gotten the chance to introduce my new little piece of gadget to the wrold. HP dv2614xt.
This is my brand new laptop, and it comes with vista. I will come back with the review on this laptop very soon when I get the hang of it. I would still say that XP is still the best OS, as a normal human being who are reluctant to change when I am familiar with something in my life.
Graphically, things look great with Windows Vista, the effects are great and everything is pretty sleek. The only problem with this is that we pay the price with some slight lagging. I feel it when it minimize and maximize between browsers and programs.
There is one important shortcut that I am unable to locate, How do you shutdown Windows Vista? What I used to do is ctrl+esc > u > s > enter. Now it is gone, and I have to click this small button below. See the small right arrow and then “shut down”.
WARNING: Do not click the button on the left of the Lock (it will only hibernate the computer)
Start button have changed quite a bit, the programs could be search, therefore there is no need to look for single programs, even clicking on programs will only show you a small list with scroller to browse through a huge list of program (strongly not recomended). There is good and bad to this, just need some time to get use to this.
Here is a printscreen of the desktop
This is the inevitable vista coolness
