Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Installed and Running on my Notebook

It was an weekend to remember… It took 2.5 hours to UPGRADE to Windows Vista Ultimate and another half an hour to install Office 2007 on my dual-core Turion system equipped with 1 GB of memory. Many things in both pieces of software have changed and/or moved from their locations in XP and Office 2003, and configuring the system the way I want it took a couple days of experimenting.
Some of the new features in Vista include stepped up security. The latest PC / Mac Commercial summs up the security pretty accurately.
One of the nice things I can point out right off is that I had NO driver problems after installing Windows Vista. I expected to at least have to go to the ATI website for some new video drivers, but Windows Update had that base covered already.
The biggest hassle to installing Vista was that the installer required me to remove a bunch of applications from my notebook (Like Nero Burning ROM) that are not Vista compatible. The installer would work for 10 minutes or so and then bail because incompatible software was found. I then had to remove the one program that Vista found and try again. The process repeated for each program that was found to be incompatible. The moral to the story is that if the Vista Upgrade Advisor says it won’t work, it won’t work. I also had to uninstall my Norton Internet Security and download a new, Vista compatible version from Symantec at no charge.
