But on my computer, Vista is an operating system from Microsoft which installed when I bought it. Since my pc is a new pc and is capable to run Vista, plus a graphic crad which utilizes Vista's Direct X 10, I decided to install Vista Premium with almost all the fancy bells and whistles. Vista Ultimate was in a way, overpriced.
Anyway, like the title, the vista isn't fully clear.
Some wierd things about Vista:-
1) I have to DISABLE the firewall that it came with so that Windows update can contact its server. You heard it right, I have to off Windows Firewall coz W. Firewall is blocking Windows update and W. Update cannot contact server. To think that both are from the same family....
Oh, apparently Windows firewall doesn't like Windows Defender as well...
2) It will pop up a window asking to continue or not whenever I try to do some things which it thinks is supposed to be the work of the admin.
Like to disable firewall it will ask if I should continue or not.
Like trying to run an install program on an ORI CD game it will ask if I should continue or not.
I have heard that it is good in the sense that if a malware decides to install something, the pop-up will come out, so its a mixed blessing.
3) My computer can start up on its own when there is power connected to it.
No, my house dun have ghosts, but kinda weird when you are half way sleeping and it turns on by its own. I dun remember my XP or windows 98 pc turning itself on when I was in college. I dun remember my parents calling my why my pc suddenly turn on its own.
Could be the "wake up on LAN" is enabled, but I never had a problem with previous pcs. Wierd.
So these are the 3 things which I find it weird on my pc.
