Mijn Tirades en Tieren
Interestingly Windows Media Player 11's visualizations in Vista don't seem to be Video Hardware accellerated. While I understand that Windows Media Player 11 needs to be backwards compatible, it does make the visualizations looks ugly compared with the rest of the OS. Hopefully they'll change that for Vista RTM, but for now that are just plain ugly (and CPU hogs).
If you upgrade to RC1 be aware that SQL Server 2005 requires SP2 before it will work with Vista RC1. Yeah, I know there is no SP2...but that's the case. It just doesn't work. I am trying to hack around the problem so I'll let you know if I find a solution...
I really like the realtime (or near real-time) preview of the windows on the Taskbar in Vista. Check it out:

I've been struggling with what to do now that my music collection is larger than my MP3 player. I've looked at the Apple 60 Gig iPod and other solutions. Many of which looked like good, but couldn't make up my mind. When a random Google search left me on a site which showed how to replace the harddrive in the Creative Zen MP3 players ( I have the 30 Gig version of the Creative Zen Xtra and have really liked it). Because of some laptop harddrive upgrades, I happen to also have an extra 60 gig laptop drive. Cool!
