Vista forgets how many monitors I have
Today was kinda funny and annoying.
End of the day, packing up to leave the office, I discovered that Vista lost one of my monitors in my dual monitor configuration.
I asked the office mates if anyone has seen that. Sure enough, they had it happen to them last week.
A quick reboot solved the problem, but I never had that problem with XP.

My Journey upgrading to Vista
I upgraded to Microsoft Vista this week on my office computer. It wasn't as bad as some in the tech media would have you believe.
All the applications I use seemed to work fine, here the list of things I use in my daily office computing:
1. MS Office Apps
2. MediaCoder
3. Putty
4. Pidgin
5. FireFox
6. VideoLan
7. Quicktime
8. Trillian
Also, the bonus is that my old desktop gets promoted to my primary Linux desktop running Ubuntu.
My only question, where is the "WOW" in the Microsoft commercials? I was unimpressed with UI improvements and I turned off the annoying asking me security thingy as I am admin on it.
