I Updated To Windows Vista Today…
…and rolled back just a few minutes ago. Fortunately, I have Norton Ghost 2003 installed and all I had to do was to restore to my Windows XP environment. I had to uninstall for the following reasons:
- Hamachi does not work
- Norton Ghost 2003 not fully compatible
- No driver for Eye-One Display
No driver for HP8450 Printer(HP has released Vista drivers for their 8400 series printers. Kudos to HP!)
I’m OK with Hamachi not working because I know it will be updated sometime in the near future for full compatibility. Norton Ghost 2003 restore worked; you just need to explicitly “run as administrator” or the software will complain about not being able to see your drives.
Obviously, the deal killer is the missing drivers for my monitor calibration tool and photo printer. I’m not going to spend money to replace my perfectly working tools just to keep current with the latest operating system technology. Either I get the drivers, or I as Katie Couric would say: Bite me.
Update: According to a post in dpreview forums here, Eye-One Display should work fine with Vista. I probably don’t have any reasons left not to upgrade to Vista. I still won’t…bah.
