Have been waiting a good deal and definitely didn’t expect it to land here so early, but as I mentioned my laptop arrived yesterday.
And as I was really anxious to get started on it, I called up Dell and asked them to send an engineer over today itself.
He came over and completed the installation and checked the entire system. Dell has a nice diagnostic CD that checks everything.
Windows Vista Home Basic Edition seems to be decent so far.
I was a little irritated that the C: is 100GB and the inbuilt shrinker didn’t work. It’s great that I will have (in another 12 hours) an external 120GB hard drive and a 2GB pen drive.
That’s a picture to the right. If you’re looking for more pictures, then check out this Flickr photoset and for those interested, the configuration.

You are quite lucky that you got Vista Preinstalled. I had to pay around 1500 extra for TV Tuner and Vista Home Premium Extra. Overall it came upto 70K
Anyways.. here’s my photoset: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thilak/sets/72157594548678539/

Congratulations …… may there be a lot of sharing
March 23rd, 2007 at 9:13 am
she looks gorgeous…. so what have u named her?
March 23rd, 2007 at 12:06 pm
@Thilak, I got the Basic edition, had to pay more for the Premium. I prefer XP!
@Benedict, let me know when it arrives.
@MAD, You should see her in real! Still haven’t thought of a name. Any suggestions?
March 23rd, 2007 at 12:14 pm
Congratulations!
She looks really nice!

Congrats. Vista is so much in the news for both right/wrong reasons. When do you review Vista on yr blog?
Btw, is it fine to order online? How will be the customer service in Navi Mumbai?
March 23rd, 2007 at 3:06 pm
nice, congratts
yup as mentioned above a review of vista would be cool… how about that ?
March 23rd, 2007 at 4:19 pm
@ Ajay I will when i get invited
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:50 pm
@Ajay… expecting delivery today
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Congrats man , looks good .
March 24th, 2007 at 12:37 am
Hey thats so cool…You should have opted for vista premium…as according to me Vista is all about aero look…and you dont get that in basic…that’s I got home premium. Apart from that you get all features in basic I guess.
March 24th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
@Parag and Madhur, Thank you
@Ranjan and Puneet, Just started playing around with Vista and I like what I see so far.
@Ranjan, it isn’t exactly online, after you “order” online, the sales rep contacts you and you then finalize everything. I paid by cheque.
@MAD, do you need an invitation?
@Benedict, Congrats!
@Mr. Byte, The aero requires 2GB for good performance. Picking up the Premium involved a lot more expenditure, something I don’t want to take right now. I can always upgrade later.

CONGRATs once again…UR BABY looks SUPERB..!!
yeh, do give an update on the WOW factor of VISTA.
Btw any chances of u commenting on INDIA’s disastrous run at the world cup??? Feeling horrible..with a overrated overbloated…underperforming team!!!
March 24th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
Well the WOW I believe is more associated with Aero skin/theme, but Vista is kinda cool.
And as for the cricket, you call that a team?
March 24th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
@Luna, the Indian cricket team hardly deserves a post anywhere …. the problem is that we make so much of a hulla about them…. why not ignore them for a change instead of giving them all that publicity?

“… as I gazed on her sleek, sexy body and traced the lovely contours with all the love I could bring up, she responded immediately to my fingers as I urged her to open up …when she was turned on I saw the brightness dance in her face …..but as I was getting to know her better I realised that our time together was short and that her master would never part with her ….”

But i dunno why they are still showing ads of Indian team playing world cup. Yesterday when I was watching 300, they screened the ad of RBK with Indian players and the whole hall yelled at them and not to mention all those people are from the so called elite society

Post up a pic of your desktop layout when you get a chance.
March 26th, 2007 at 4:36 am
P.S. The math plugin kept asking me the sum of 10+3. I would put 13. “not a correct sum. go back and try again” Kept doing it and rewriting my question and it would still say wrong sum.
Had to refresh the page to get a different question. 10+3 is 13 right? lol

@Law, Desktop Layout?
Seems like wp-cache causing problems. It can get really irritating at times!
