Run across a minor issue while trying to install Visual Studion 2005 on Vista.
When installing he suddenly says he can not copy a certain file. you can retry or cancel. Cancel the installation and rerun the setup.exe with "Elevated Administrator Rights" . This should solve that issue. If this does not work try to install the latest version of Daemon tools because second time i tried the elevated administrator rights did not resolve the issue.

When I tried to run Visual Studio I get a warning. I recommend that you read what it has to say because there are numerous issues that may occur...

Do not forget to install the latest service pack either.

Today spent a large part of the day installing VISTA on my laptop
Something I had to look for was how to sync my Qtec s200 with vista. Figured out I had to install "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista"

You can download it here:

Works more stable than the RC2 from october that I installed on my desktop a month ago. (until now :p)

Installed windows vista and office 2007 this weekend. Looks great only computer is a lot slower now :/ thnking about reverting back.

Only problem I came across is that I could not install daemon tools to mount iso images. Found a very good (free) alternative: elby Virtual CloneDrive is can be found here : http://www.elby.de/fun/software/index.html
