January was a bad month, things are looking up. Yesterday I (legally) came into possession of a genuine, full copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium which I spent at least three hours installing onto my two year old Dell Inspiron 6000 last night. I did a direct upgrade from XP and had to rip and reinstall my AVG, but no biggie. The only major issue I had was that the touchpad drivers werent compatable with the new OS so I had to fight a little bit and get new ones installed. Things are working fine now, however.
My computer only has 512MB ram, so by default it cannot run Aero in Vista, but a friend of mine gave me a hack for Aero that I think I'll try when I go home tonight. No problem though if I cant make it work.

My copy of Windows XP is pretty much the only legit software I own, but would be the only software I wouldn't feel a slight guilt over if it was a pirate copy. Im going to put off upgrading to Vista for as long as possible, in fact if I had a spare hard drive I would try out a version of Linux.

Well, the only reason I upgraded to Vista was because I got it for nothing. Im still working out some "issues" but Im actually having fun troubleshooting my own PC. Whoda thunk it?
