I'm going to leave the name of this category as "Vista" even though I won't be running Vista any longer.

The upgrade started 1720, and we'll see how long it takes. The very first thing it did was demand the right to phone home and download something, which turned out to only be about a megabyte. That was fast, but I bet that server at Microsoft is going to get hammered this weekend.

They keep telling me that PowerDVD 6 isn't going to work. That could be a probem, because I'm using PowerDVD 6's codecs in Zoom Player to play DVDs.

UPDATE: 1805, first reboot.

UPDATE: 1830, second reboot

UPDATE: 1900, third reboot. I think we may be on the home stretch.

UPDATE: 1915, fourth reboot. "Setting up for first use"

UPDATE: 1920, and the fifth and hopefully last restart. Total time, two hours.
