Dell Dropped Ball With Vista Upgrade
February 12, 2007
So, just for the record - Dell's Vista Express Upgrade Deal flopped. We purchased a new machine here at $WeMakeLegalResearchSoftware in order to have a) a nice dev machine and b) a machine that would run Vista. We purchased it right around the time of RTM, so we figured that the express upgrade wouldn't be far off. Man, were we wrong. It's Feb. 12th and the public has had access to Vista since the 1st. Our order hasn't even been processed beyond "pending" status and all of the contact numbers (including other languages) have been disconnected. Way to go Dell! Dude, you're getting Vista ... someday.

You can imagine the constant problems that Vista is giving my company!

Indeed. I've written before about its messed up networking stack and location awareness bullshit. Heck, it wouldn't even acknowledge the DHCP responses from my D-Link router.

News Jordan! I beat the international conspiracy and finally have a Wii! Thusly, we must exchange friend codes with the utmost expediency! :-D

speaking of.. we got a Wii at work hooked up to a projector - really nice :) And I got a new high score in bowling yesterday at work with 223 ! ZOMG!

Nifty. I still have yet to do better than 200 in Wii Sports or the real thing. Best I've done is 186 at Atwood.

186 is very nice. I don't think I've bowled that high myself.
