Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 Clean Install Impressions
,----[ Quote ]
| After my success upgrading from Ubuntu 6.06 to Edgy 6.10 I
| decided to reformat my hard drive and try doing a clean install.
| The whole install process went very smoothly and was an improvement
| over the Ubuntu 6.06 install.

On the Windows side:
The following suggests that it's better to install Vista from scratch, rather
than use the unreliable upgrade/migrate tool.

Thank you IE7 for messing up my computer

| No worries. We figured, Microsoft is offering free phone
| support for IE7 problems. We had a problem getting rid of
| IE7, so surely we would be entitled to free support...?
|
| "Wrong," said the help desk operator with an obvious Indian
| accent who identified himself as Ron. We would have to pay
| somewhere around $35 if we wanted to ask Microsoft a question.
|
| A request to speak with a supervisor however made Ron change
| his mind and the loyal gate keeper allowed us to advance to
| the second level of Microsoft's helpdesk nirvana.
|
| There we were greeted by Prim who guided us to the internet
| setting. It turned out that IE7 had completely messed up
| Windows XP's internet settings. The internet security
| settings are supposed to offer a vertical bar that
| allows users to change the setting from low to high.
| But this bar was suspiciously missing.
