Windows Vista

Alright Amigos and Fellow Clients, It’s about time that you get an update of what’s going on with Rodriguez Studios. So sit back, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride in cyberspace!
First of all I have been doing a website for the Wesley foundation at Kennesaw State University. So far everyone loves what I have done. If you wanna take a sneak peak here it is. http://www.ksuwesley.org

Now here is a riddle for you. What is an operating system that is very high tech, with a high graphical interface, with Windows Aero Experience , and that just been recently released? Well if you guess Windows Vista then you are correct.
I would like to announce that I am a very brave soul of upgrading my laptop to one of the new operating systems from Microsoft. The version that my laptop will support is Windows Vista Home Premium.

Upgrading was very challenging at first because I used the upgrade feature instead of clean install which I did the next day. Now I have the experience to share with everyone. Please note that I do not provide support for Windows Vista until I know every speck of the program itself. However I can share you what I have done to resolve this issue of the installation process. Before I went to bed, I went to a Windows Vista forum on facebook so I can find a solution. Also I have asked a couple of my friends and they told me that using the upgrade will defiantly will cause problems even if your system is up-to-date.

So the following morning, I took this advice and guess what??? I am right down to business plus it only took an hour and a half to do the entire process. Thanks James, you are a lifesaver!

After turning on the computer twice, here is what I have seen on the new operating system. If you are a movie buff like me, you’ll never have to buy dvd software to watch your movies. I previously had Media Center XP so in order to watch movies; you had to purchase software like cyberlink in order to watch flicks on Windows media player or Media Center regardless. I don't have a state of the art graphic card but sorry XP, after watching Independence Day is WAY better than going to the movies. The sounds are superb in contrary to XP. I have a HD sound card but vista really made that bad boy really work!

My computer boots up faster than the previous OS but Installations of applications like Office ‘07 Pro, Visio, Visual Studios ‘05, took a while. But nowthe installation of software is a lot faster now due to Windows Updates and frequent usage.

Tip# 1. An 80 GB will do the job but get a 120 GB will be good if you are a hard core gamer or developer.

Tip# 2. Once you have done the installation of Vista, activate online. You've got 30 days to do it otherwise Vista won't work anymore

If anyone is planning to upgrade their system, come to me cause now I'm experienced full of knowledge and I'm always be glad to help you out. Trust me it might very beneficial that you do because I can supply you with the necessary tips and instructions in order for things to work.I'll miss XP because it puts WIN ME to shame literally but I'll have my trusty old desktop to continue my XP experience as a user.

Okay folks, I probably assume that you are drooling since I told you what Vista has done for me. Students, Faculty, and Staff can get great software at http://www.campustech.com at prices you won’t possibly imagine.

That’s it for now, I’ll keep working on my website making sure stuff is updated and I will keep you posted on the great stuff that Rodriguez Studios has to offer. Don’t forget to keep sending me your Questions, Comments, or concerns to me. Well then this is Gabriel, signing off for now!
