Vista RTM - First Impressions

So I now have Windows Vista Ultimate RTM fully installed and am very impressed with the speed increase compared to the previous 'Build 5744 RC2' that we had access to. The RTM version is full of newly designed icons & sounds with new Vista themed wallpapers.

Vista RTM

Currently running is Windows Media Center tuned into Ch7 HD, Age of Empires 3, NYTimes Reader, Vista Aero Theme on Dual 17" Monitors @ 1280x1024 each. That is around as close as I could push the system without the TV starting to drop frames and stutter. The machine spec is a P4 3.06Ghz (Socket 478/533Mhz FSB), 3GB RAM and a NVidia 7600GS 256MB GPU. Overall I have a Windows Experience Index of 4.1 which ain't too bad for a machine that is easily 2 years plus in age.
