So, I'm giving Vista another shot. I'm going to learn the .NET 3.0 and 3.5 stuff, since 3.5 should be coming out soon. Here is the list of the software I'm running:

• Adobe Flash Player
• Filezilla
• Firefox (with AdBlock plus, Filterset.G, Gmail notifier, Flashblock)
• Logitech Setpoint
• Metapad
• Microsoft Office 2007
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• Natural Selection
• Pidgin
• Putty
• Steam
• Virtual Clone Drive
• VLC (aka VideoLAN)
• WinDirStat
• WinSCP
• Yahoo Messenger

I'm going to try Nero again, but last time it said I had an invalid code key -- funny, it works in XP -- and Nero wasn't willing to help, so I may be pirating a copy that works because my legal copy doesn't even though they claim it does... blah.
