Midnight Tricks

OK--so it's not quite midnight... hell, it's almost 1AM. I've been looking around, reading reviews on Windows Vista (may buy a cheap laptop for school, but Vista is the only option as an operating system). I love Windows XP Professional, especially now with its sturdy Service Pack 3 (yes, I am indeed aware of Windows 7 coming out in October, but I can't wait that long). So all this reading and asking around on Vista's performance, I was really diggin' the look of it. And so here I am, satisfying my curiosity on tweaking my desktop...

Before the "hunt"



After the "hunt"



I feel so dorky, lol. As far as Vista goes, it's kind of 50/50 on its stability. People who have reliable inputs say it's alright and will "grow" on me. I think I'll consider it and return the OS and go back to XP if it doesn't work out. I just really hate the common note that, "Vista uses a lot of resources to function."

Meh, let's just hope I even have the financial means to make such a purchase. (It's free to window shop, right??!)
