Christian Saborío's Blog

The blog deals mostly with problems and their respective solutions that I find on day to day basis at my current workplace. Most of the issues so far deal specifically with Virtualization (mostly Microsoft related), 64-bit migration, and Windows 2003 issues. Many of the problems I have faced in various projects have been solved by reading someone else's blog. This is an effort to pay back and hopefully someone will be able to solve some of their problems by reading something within these pages.

Going Vista

So what is the story with Vista?  You've read the hype, you've seen the reviews but I bet not many have messed around with it.  I will take challenge and not only install, but upgrade my current Windows XP virtual machine running in Parallels to Ultimate Vista.

Basically I am doing this because I do not want to install Vista on a clean image and have to reinstall all the software that would require re-configuration.  What I have on my VM that I hope does not break in Vista is the following:

  • Live Writer
  • Visual Studio 2005
  • Office 2004
  • Visual Source Safe

Not to bad huh?  I will keep posting my progress made when moving to the new OS by Microsoft.

As of now, I have just upgraded to the latest Parallels version which should let me upgrade to Vista...launch the installer and TADA:
