Welp, installing Vista RC2 (Build 5744) on my Dell Inspiron 9300 was flawless… Until I logged in.

I guess I’ll just let it sit there. Even though there’s no noticeable hard disk activity, what do I have to lose?

All of a sudden, bam, your screen is grayed out and you’ve got a new popup window in your face. I know it’s supposed to get your attention, but it seems a tad too abrupt to go with the rest of the overall theme of Vista. […]
