Today I decided to test run my new mini-mouse and work from the Lenovo. I have to say I’ve found a wealth of good and a sea of bad. I always like to give the good news first.
The good: I enabled the Aero display setting again and this time it doesn’t seem to lag the system as much. I decided since I am running Vista, I might as well maximise my user experience. I did shut down the Windows Sidebar, which I read slows the system considerably. That might have helped.
Next up, Firefox crashed on me again. Twice. The first time Vista managed to save it after (no more blue screen) grey screening it for about 30 seconds. The second time it died but the beauty of it is Vista managed to restore all the 10 tabs (yes yes… I overloaded the browser) with the actual pages all intact.
The bad: Even more software incompatible with Vista. ZoneAlarm (although they promise compatibility soon), Kerio Personal Firewall, even my USB Modem for M1 Broadband! I dread to find what else is incompatible. Haven’t tried any games or DVDs yet - I hear that’s where most of the conflicts lie.
