I'm a cheerful early adopter!
Oct. 23rd, 2009 03:40 pmWhich is to say, after a Fallout 3 crash that degraded the RAID and apparently killed ntoskernel.dll and winlogon.exe, I've decided that rather than trying to *fix* XP Pro I'm going to install Windows 7 on my monstrous beast of a desktop.
I've got my backups, I've booted into safe mode to pull out the most recently changed files like today's email and a couple of files off the desktop, and then my buddy Jack Daniels and I are going to *wipe* this baby!
This will be fun! Or, if it goes badly, it will at least be entertaining!

Oct. 23rd, 2009 07:08 pmHmm, installer has given me pretty desktop, mouse control, and *nothing* else.
No clickies.
No buttons.
Curses!
EDIT: Desktop IS very pretty.
EDIT2: Apparently "waiting" is the solution. As in, I started bitching about it freezing, and BOOM "please choose your location, language, and input method"
EDIT3: HOLY CRAP IT WORKS! I barely finish bitching about the first delay and POW the second delay ends with "here's your license, please cliky without reading and fuck right off now"

Oct. 23rd, 2009 07:59 pmYAY, first "must reboot now". Slower than XP to get to that point, yo.

Oct. 23rd, 2009 08:34 pmApparently, "you will now boot into Windows 7" means "you will sit on 'starting Windows'" for 30 minutes.
EDIT: After waiting 30 minutes, I hit the power and hard rebooted, and got past the "starting Windows" screen.
I mean, my machine is *not* a normal machine. I'm running quad-core, dual 1GB graphics cards in SLI, and RAID-5, on my personal desktop for gaming.
But this is still kinda absurd.
EDIT2: IT HAS JUST SUGGESTED THAT MY USERNAME BE JOHN I MUST KILL THE MIND-READING WITCH

Oct. 23rd, 2009 08:51 pmOooh, I can has desktop. And Your Momma jokes. How odd.
So: Install took *for fucking ever* and had multiple 20+ minute waits, at least one of which was a crash and it only fixed when I yanked the power and rebooted. For the rest, they mostly just lacked progress bars. I am *not* impressed, but I accept that this might be partially due to the fact that my machine is Weird Fucking Shit as far as desktops go.
So far, the desktop looks like Vista. Which is a bad sign, but not unexpected. Am running "Experience Index" score now.
EDIT: Rebooting was very quick and very spiffy. Didn't listen to me when I told it FUCK OFF NO SOUNDS, but got past that quickly!

Oct. 23rd, 2009 09:23 pmHoly SHIT this thing blazes once you turn off the extranneous crap.
Also: Windows Experience Index 6.9, dragged down by the "disk transfer rate" because I'm rebuiliding the RAID right now.
