Microsoft Rolls Out Vista - Finally

After long months of waiting and a few setbacks, Microsoft launched Windows Vista. The initial response seems to be more of a yawn than a fanfare, which is actually the usual response to Windows releases.

The Long and Winding Road

Well, it's taken me a long time to get settled here in Phoenix. Yeah, I moved from Orlando, Florida to Phoenix, Arizona. That's a 2200 mile trip, in a big, uncomfortable moving truck, towing my car behind. Me, my daughter and a snake in the cab.
The trailer got a flat while we were in the panhandle. It took 2 hours for someone to come help us. Good thing we had the portable DVD player. Pirates of the Caribbean saved us from dying of sheer boredom and frustration.

But we're here now and I've got a new job and a new house and a new family. My fiance has 2 boys, so now we're a sort of Brady family out here in the desert. It's nice though. There are mountains we can see from our front yard and ranchland all around us.
