So here I am trying to find out if I need to make any changes to my system before I load Vista RC1 onto a second HD and try it out. I think to myself, “Hey, I’ll try the upgrade adviser and see if it does indeed work and show me what I need to know.”. I’m also thinking that I should run it on the new customer system I’m building to ensure the PC meets the requirements to be classed as “Windows Vista Ready”.
So what happens? I install the adviser on both my personal desktop and the brand new system. 3 hours later it’s still scanning. Somehow I don’t think that that is correct.
Anyone else had this experience? How are general users going to be able to tell if their system is Vista ready if it doesn’t work all the time. I mean it should at least give me some response within this time period, but no… It does nothing but inform me of the various flavours of Vista and shows a pretty green bar zooming across the screen. It’s like watching grass grow. Shame on you MS.
Oh and yes, both systems are legit Windows XP systems with all current drivers and what not from around the web.
Hmmm… as a matter of fact, I remember the same thing happening for the adviser for beta2 on my laptop at the time.
