On Thursday March 22nd, Fredrik Wengelin and Victor Tattersal led a forum on Windows Vista:

Here's a link to Fredrik's Power point presentation. It includes links to some useful web resources.

The Club currently has 5 PCs with Windows Vista set up as Dual boot machines with XP. Most of the installations are Windows Vista Business, but we have one with Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes Windows Media Centre - a great tool for managing on and off-line multi-media. All the Vista PCs are installed with Microsoft Office 2007 - which is a big departure from previous versions and arguably the easiest version of Office to use.

English OEM versions of Vista are available locally, so there is no need to buy it from the UK. Details at the Club!

MOVING ON - THE INTERNET

Club to build Vista Home Premium PC

The Club's "Computer Building" Special Interest Group has bought the components for a spanking new Dual Core PC.

They will be building this machine as one of their projects and will have a dual boot installation of Windows XP and Vista, Home Premium. We have chosen this version of Vista because it has the Mediacentre features built in.

We hope that Vic Tattersall will be able to show off this PC and Vista on March 22nd when he and Chris ill be leading a forum on Vista
