Running on vista is scary journey. UI is not very responsible for some time, annoying UAC, and I don’t feel any reason why they design the UI like this.
So my first step is create the backup disk, just in case if I fail when restore to XP and install ubuntu.
And then I spent 1/2 hour to find out how to create the recovery disk. It has not clear described in help. As usual, find the answer using google.
> Go to “All Programs > ThinkVantage > Create Rescue and Recovery Media. Then select your desirable type of rescue media. To create recovery CD, check the “Create a set of Product Recovery Discs now” and then click “OK” to start the creation process.

After created the recovery disk, I feed I have a great safely net around why don’t give vista sometime (in worst case, just restore to XP as my originally plan)
What I do is:
> install Office 2003 ( Office 2007 is just a joke, I’ve absolutely no clue why MS build the office suite like this, even Open Office is better )
> install firefox 2.0
> install jZip (the build in decompress is very very ….. slow, it takes hours for few minutes task)
> install Scite (my second favorite editor, the 1st is UltraEditor)
> turn off Indexing
> turn off UAC
> install Avast
Now, at least, I can do some document or drafting work on this.
My next steps is install “vmware server”, hope it won’t let my down.
( heard some rumor on very bad experience on Vista SP1, I’m not dare to try it)
