So I have been trying out Windows Vista Ultimate for about a month now, and I have to say, like XP, it takes some getting used to but you eventually warm up to it. But for me to warm up to it, I had to do a good bit of customization. Some of those things included turning off that f***ing pop-up security message every time you doing a system change of some sort or installing an application. After you turn off the UAC security, you have to disable Windows warning messages that appear in in the Start Menu bar by the clock. If you don’t you will have a constant message basically saying that your security sucks and you need to fix it.
After I go through that, I disable the sidebar because to me, its a bit distracting. To be fair to Windows, I should note that I also disable Dashboard on the Mac OS. With all that said and done, using Windows Vista isn’t that bad for typical use. I haven’t pushed it as far as the design and development sides are concerned with Photoshop and Flash.

Okay so, one day while I’m cooking, I feel like listening to some music. So I grab my external Lacie harddrive(that has all my music and stuff backed up onto it), and I plug into the front of my Xbox 360 and I start playing my music off it. Later on, I realized that I had formatted my external drive to the Apple HFS+ format so I could store files that were over 4 gigs.
To double check that I still had it formatted that way, I plugged it back into my iMac and sure enough, it still was HFS+ formatted. But yeah so apparently the 360 can read into the Apple format with no trouble whatsoever. And just to add on to it some more, the 360 was able to read all the files and folders on the drive, so I actually had to go into my music folder and then into whatever artist I felt listening to. So pretty cool finding.
