Breaking 10 Windows Vista Myths

Okay, I haven’t installed Windows Vista yet, I’ve had problems installing on my test box for a while now and I’m a little scared to go prime-time on my primary machine. I tried to repartition my MacBook Pro and install Vista on that using Apple’s Boot Camp, but Boot Camp refused to partition my drive, telling me I should image it, format and repartition using Disk Utility, and then restore my data in order to create the necessary partition for the install. Boo. Still, my troubles only seem to whet my appetite for Vista more, and I’m glad to see a couple of Vista myths busted, including some that I myself were worried about. Here’s a couple that I liked:

Myth #4: The only thing new about Vista is the eye candy

Myth #7: Most old applications and peripherals won’t work with Vista

And so on. There are more, and justification for all of them, including the ones above. So if you’re interested in Vista, go for it. I still advise caution, but it’s cautious optimism!
