Hey, thanks for the comment, I must have forgot to include the link for the config file in the post. The custom config was called Yitch3. Hope that helps.

nice place u have, vlite vista and u will be one happy puppy, and with all the benefits of vista you will not even consider going back to xp (maybe), some people just like xp period. I was that way i am now a convert. i lke the hong kong wallpaper i have one like it. Maybe you might know, our n10 has a limitation of 2gb memory b/c of the design of our intel chip. intel could fix if they wanted, asus said said theoretically, if they wanted, the could provide a work around but due to costs of R&D, and the fact that the intel chipset is not designed for it they will not do it. can’t blame them on this on. but, is there anyone out there that maybe can figure the work around to get n10 to accept 4gb memory stick. it doesn’t really need it but would be really nice. thanks

I guess I was a little harsh on Vista, my issue with Vista is that, for me, it provided no real advantage over XP. I have used Vista on various different computers and never could get over the, Allow It, Disallow It popup.
That drove me batty, especially when it was a program Microsoft had built… like Control Panel. I really wish I did like Vista, but for me that’s just not in the cards. I’m very optimistic about Windows 7 though.

I stand corrected with the resolution though, there is no way you would want a 4:3 screen on this machine…. now the 1024×600 makes a bit more sense.

Hi there, nice little review you put together! I do have some remarks though:

Vista isn’t that utter crap you describe it for. Yes, boot times are ridiculous, but when you use S3 suspend like I do it’s up and running in under 3s! And the fact you used Vista only for a week already is a statement. Vista has a new technology that caches and predicts stuff you’re most likely going to use in the near-future, so the more you use it, the faster it gets (and this is no lie, I actually noticed a serious increase in responsiveness after 2-3 weeks usage).

Furthermore: a resolution of 1024×768 would be equal crap, as that is a 4:3 aspect ratio. You really want to have widescreen on such small devices, so that would be a 1280×768. As far as I know, that still isn’t fysically possible on 10″ screens.
