haha, it should be original, as the event was launched by MS ppl in my campus.
however, there were cases in which the license key was invalid. /swt
not sure about mine, no reason for me to dump XP yet, haha!

my copy of vista (licensed) takes too much time to search for contents everytime i open a window, plus, moving copying files are a hassle, even if they are less than a hundred mb. i still like the way XP works.

and i find the display setting is not consistent as well, jumping from ‘large icon’ to list etc when i go back and forth while navigating thru. its annoying. cant vista remember each folder’s display settings?

another many annoyances is the display themes. i have switched of the fancy themes and used the most basic win-98 alike display theme. saves me hell lot of memories and hassle. all the fancy vista animation and stuff are just interesting during the first week.

perhaps i do not know how to utilize my vista but then again, i’m not that basic to not to be able to figure it out.

one thing i would like windows to incorporate is the “pause” function when moving and copying files.

i think it should be OEM, i got it from my campus launch event.
the DVD looks sux, the case is no difference from a pirated DVD case, and even the license key is hand written. haha!

i have a copy of Vista, but, i think it would be “wise” for me to leave it alone collecting dusts. sigh…

Some games can see the difference la, like CoH and WIC but then ah, when you’re in the heat of the game you won’t be noticing it anyway.

Nevertheless, doing review i have to go DX10 la or else people say reviews are still in dinosaur age.

For me the one and only reason to upgrade for vista is DX10. But then DX9 is still playable and the difference between DX10 and DX 9 ain’t that big as hyped. So i guess i’ll still play the waiting game… XD

@maskawaih – hrmm. i haven’t install my printer yet so i might rant it here later.

@albuah – awal awal everything also pain wan la. it’s MS already.

@The_YongGrand – yeah in my case, i can’t afford to unintall and reinstall XP. then i have to reinstall all my software, reconfigure my web and database server and re-setup all my E-mails. no way man.

Anyway, here’s the funny thing guys – despite all my USB device issues, the Nokia N81 8GB was plugged in, recognized and with drivers searched, found and installed flawlessly! sheeesh……..
