I have finally decided to move to Windows Vista and made a clean installation on my Sony Vaio VNG-SZ330P three days ago. Because many people are considering moving to Vista, I though I would share my experience with you.

To start with, the installation went without any complications. It was quick and easy. Prior to installing the new Windows, I had run the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. As expected, the advisor "said" that most of the things were ok for upgrade. Though, the advisor could not find drivers for some of the hardware components.

Basically, immediately after installing Windows Vista I noticed that Vista could not install drivers for a couple of hardware components. Among them will be the biometric fingerprint reader, the TPM, built in camera, the memory card reader and the other expansion slot (Texas Instruments PCI Integrated FlashMedia controller).

Luckily, the new Windows Vista problem solution program quickly found the available downloads for TMP, biometric reader, memory card controllers. Within 30 min I had all of the devices running but the built in camera.

Frankly, I've been enjoying the built-in camera and I was somewhat disappointed with not being able to use it with Vista. A quick Googling led me to a forum where I found the link to download the drivers but unfortunately the link was broken.

Today I recalled the I had created the Backup DVD-s. So, I inserted the 1st disk in the DVD-Drive and tried to install the built-in camera drivers. I must say that it worked perfectly. At least, I have already tested it with Skype and works fine.

I must agree with my associates who have been telling me that Vista was good. Vista is really cool and I think it's the best Windows I've ever used (and I've started with 3.0). I have not explored the new OS deeply yet, however from what I've seen so far, it is very good. Increased speed is visible immediately!

This is all for now. Stay tuned and don't forget to subscribe to our RSS feed. I will surely keep the blog updated with the experience with Windows Vista.
