My Vista Experience

A very self-explanatory screen shot on the very first day of working with Vista. First, it was system slowing down, then Vista screaming at me that some network component is stucked. And while I try a restart attempt, the infamous white wording with blue background shows up.


Wanted to take my camera out and take a shot of the blue monster, but not fast enough (and also don't want to harass my colleagues). But Vista is smart enough to give me this post disaster dialog the next time I boot in.

Wide-screen Issue

Had been quite troubled by the "Wide-Screen" issue last week, where the Windows Form application that I've developed doesn't seem to shows up nicely in some very high resolution and rare screen aspect ratio.

My solution? no choice but to use scripting to adjust the panel according to the border controls, plus some of margin/padding.

Got my new ASUS laptop from my new company, and while starting to install Visual Studio, it's installer screen seems to have the same issue as well!
