Oh my god! No, not Vista, but Vista.

Windows Vista has actually installed, successfully, and is working without any problems at all. There are some random pauses, from anywhere between 2 seconds, around 2 minutes -- but I think that is merely because of the amount of memory installed on this system. The system with the installation working is a:

* AMD Duron processor (1.8 GHz)
* 768 MB DDR PC-2700 memory
* 160 GB HD with 16 MB cache
* GeForce 6200 NVIDIA (PNY)
* Memorex DVD +/- DVD-R/RW
* Creative PC-DVD 5X (DVD-ROM)

The strange thing is, I got so annoyed and fustrated after having to wait for the system to stop freezing, hanging up, even crashing, that instead of smashing it, I got up, left the room and figured it would do it on it's own. Instead, somehow, it started working instead.

So, to my previous posting,

The bottom line to this entire article is: DO NOT PURCHASE A COPY OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA (any version,) UNLESS YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE TIME ON YOUR HANDS TO SCREW YOUR SYSTEM UP, OR TO TAKE CHANGES THAT IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK ON YOUR SYSTEM. FOR ALL THE TROUBLES, THE PROBLEMS, AGRIVATION, AND OTHER CRAP, MICROSOFT SHOULD OF PAID ME TO PICK UP A COPY, OR BETTER YET, HAVE GIVEN ME A FREAKING COPY.

Purchase it, but purchase it expecting to have possible problems (more or less then what I have had, or what http://blog.gamecraft.org/2007/01/windows-vista-ultimate-installed had, among several other Vista users.
