Living with Vista: Video Demo #1
Real basic overview
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: Vista Reviews
Today I made a short demo of using Windows Vista. Nothing fancy and admittedly, my live talking to myself demo skills are not particularly impressive. But hopefully you'll be able to get a general overview of Windows Vista.

The next video in the series will get into more of the meat. Windows Vista isn't just Windows XP with new eye candy and some new utilities, so stay tuned to see some of the benefits of Windows Vista.
Also, if you want to make your experiences of Windows Vista public, you can read this post.

Power Users will be happy with the resource monitor.
Now a universal benchmark for Vista machines. This will become a big deal I predict.
Personalization is both more and less powerful than Vista. We'll talk about more in the coming weeks.
No "skinning" this time around in Vista by default but users can change both the opacity and color of glass in Vista which most will likely prefer.
The new Start menu is a big improvement in most ways over XP's. Easier to find things, better organized, more professional looking.

| What is the highest score you can get in the benchmark thing? I presume its 5. |
My PC is well over 5, so I presume it's unlimited.

I always thought you had a deeper voice.
Great video. Thanks for showing it. I will be back reading a lot more this fall.
