At one point in time, I thought Windows Vista was a complete joke. Everything from it’s rather resource hogging, overzealous, too-flashy-for-TV user interface to the somewhat buggy release and it’s lack of backwards compatibility, it makes me cringe at it’s very name. Vista.

I got over it all and decided to plunge in with a full fledged RTM copy and installed it on my custom box. The only thing I find myself using a lot is my nifty Gadget Sidebar.

I use all the standard stuff that comes with it such as the analog clock and the calendar; but I’ve also opted to put my CPU and memory monitor on there just to see how bad my computer lags when I’m beta testing software and such. I also downloaded a currency converter so I can see the exchange rate for when I send money to my mom in Guatemala. But the newest gadget that I just can’t get enough of is the Forunte Cookie gadget from Gadgetate!

It gives a Chinese style fortune every time you click on it, all equipped with the crunching animation to go along. It’s listed as a Game but I used it more as a tool, and anyone that likes to start off their day with a proverb, I’m sure they’ll also appreciate it.

Okay. So, I guess this is kind of dumb, but I liked it.

Go download it now!

Why do I always do that? I waste precious time and not post a damn thing in so long and I think I might do it on purpose.

So I apologize.

Erm. A few updates I want to make, but I’m not sure if it’s the right time. I’ll decide within the next couple of days and then reveal everything at once. I think that’s best.

Haven’t really heard back from RIM or Intel, at all. I was supposed to get some new beta products but I guess I was pulled from the list, which sucks really badly. I was all ready to write my reviews and start testing out the new shizznat, but I guess it will be no more.

Thanks Intel and RIM. RIMTEL. Arg.
