Waiting for boot.wim
Any minute now. Update 1: It looks like a lot of people are having the same issue. Try to search Twitter and you’ll see. My guess is that I have not yet been authorized to install, so therefore we wait a little while longer. My daughter seems a little impatient though.

I didn’t expect any problems either, and it is not really the most exciting feature of the new...
Så fik jeg endelig Windows Vista
Fordelen ved at arbejde i en IT virksomhed er, at man har en masse licenser til det nyeste Microsoft software samt at man kan risikere at falde over en laptop, som alle havde glemt alt om. Jeg har været så heldig at falde over en laptop, som rent faktisk kan køre Vista med Aero og hele dynen. Min Vista score er godt nok kun 2.0, men det er nok til at jeg kan bruge alle de nye features. Samtidig er dette min første blog post med den nyeste udgave af Windows Live Writer, så et eller andet sted er der...
