Vista
Well I was having some minor issues with Windows Vista remembering the mapped network drive password that I had set since the machine that I am trying to connect to is now a Windows Server 2003 R2 machine that is set up to do all my seeding and file sharing within the household. I know I know, some of you might be thinking that I am selling out on the Linux stuff, well you are all partially right. My server upgrade did not go as well as I would have liked it to have and since I still have a Windows Server 2003 R2 key that is valid I decided that it might be nice to get things working via that route, well I will say that as far as simple file sharing and torrent seeding is concerned it was a much easier way to go although I still miss my SSH sessions.

nVidia is poor support
Well let me just say that nVidia is pissing me off again, first they drop support for nforce1 and nforce2 chip sets just before Vista launches, then they sell people graphics cards for Vista that don’t even have non-beta drivers, then they go ahead and make the support of the “legacy” and take out support for even some more of their hardware. Then when they take out the support for the hardware then they stop making new drivers for different xorg servers and make you wait an ungodly time to get a new “legacy” driver.
ATI is just as good
With this new revelation from nVidia it makes the ATI FGLRX driver look like a godsend since at least a small part of it is open source. It’s starting to get to where nVidia is losing the battle against ATI on the Linux front, but then again Intel has all their graphics drivers open source and they are not competeing with the big two. Well intel doesn’t really care about the graphics market since most of thier stuff is built onto motherboards and isn’t expected to perform the same as a non-integrated solution.
