the vynsane asylum

The good news: I downloaded Windows 7, burned it to a dvd, and installed it to my laptop. The laptop runs better now.

The bad news: something is corrupt in the updates. When the windows updates and has to reboot, something isn't working right. It runs a self check at the start, which takes forever. Then it tries to restore a previous setting. Works fine for a while, then back to the corrupted update. The only outside program I've put on there are the Adobe updates. I'm wondering if they are the problem.

I think I worked out all the bugs. It took a lot of self repairing re-boots.

that's one thing with upgrading as opposed to a clean install - it still has remnants of the old. i had a bitch of a time getting visual studio to work on win7 after i upgraded from vista, so much so that last week i blew it out of the water, created a virtual machine of windows server 2003, installed visual studio on THAT and now use that as my work platform. haven't opened the win7 virtual machine since. i need to retrieve my archived emails from that one, then i can delete it and reclaim about 30 gigs of space on my mac.
