Vista’s Like, “So, you still waiting here?”
Just noticed one of those little changes in Vista RC1. This certainly wasn’t in Beta 2. If you are waiting a while for Vista to connect to a wireless network, it adds this notice:
That reads “Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual”. Well gee, thanks. Now what are you going to do about it?
Also, here’s something worth updating every once in a while: My Vista System Stability chart:
Vista lets you know how stable your system is, by computing a whole bunch of factors, including programs and drivers installed and uninstalled, application crashes, unexpected shutdowns (bluescreens) and other things. The report isn’t perfect, both because it does a rolling average and because it doesn’t give Windows a huge “F” every time you see a bluescreen, but it gives you some idea is things are getting better. The day I installed Vista was a 9.17, because of all the installations that day, dropping to a five the next day, and slowly reaching a 2.09 yesterday.
Of course, the goal is a 0, so we’ve got a ways to go.
