Vista Compatibility Test Tool

Sunday, January 21. 2007, 08:11 AM


The current buzz right now, other than the introduction of iPhone, is the upcoming release of the really really long awaited Windows Vista. There are a lot of folks out there who are really eager to get their hands on Vista, because it is cool, it is pretty handsome and it offers a lot of new features. But, with all of the bells and whistles, Vista demands for a new generation PC specification to run it - not everyone can be Vista's master, only the chosen one and the ones that choose to upgrade their current PC specification (which also basically means to buy a new PC) can have Vista up and running. You may view using this link: Vista Basic Requirement to see the basic specification your system must have in order for you, according to Microsoft:
...be able to run the core features of Windows Vista with the basic user experience
What the hell is basic user experience? Anyway, in this article, i am going to share with you guys a tool that i found that will help you examine if your PC is fit for Vista.
To use this tool right away, please go to this link: Test For Vista. Upon arriving at the page, you should see a user agreement thing, just agree to it. After that, the website will try to download the necessary tool to your PC and then the tool will automatically start scanning your system, you may have to be a bit patient, waiting for the tool to download and start scanning. In case it took an unbelievably long time to give you the result, maybe you need to refresh the page, and start again. Anyway, just for the sake of sharing, my PC didn't 'passed' the test, i didn't have enough hard disk space. I have a 250Gb hard disk, but it is currently full with rubbish - need to clear a few stuffs from the hard disk in order to give Vista some room, if i am planning to upgrade that is :) . Below is just a small snapshot of the result that i have obtained (hell i am not going to show you the full view.... i am a very shy guy) p/s: thanks to my friend, eches, to share about this tool in his blog

it is undoubtedly that there are a few softwares that wouldn't work with vista right now and the updates are not as fast as people has expected - the word is - Vista wasn't ready to be released . but if you are planning to update to vista, i would suggest to make sure all of the vital softwares that you use has released the vista compatible version of the software, it would make your life much more easier to upgrade to vista :-)
