Vista: point of no return
I think I've hit the point of no return on my desktop Vista install now. I've moved over my Quicken data file. It's working OK, so I guess I'm going to start moving over other key stuff, like my Outlook data file, and my OneNote files.
I'm experimenting right now with mapping a drive to my MobileMe iDisk, and backing up my Quicken files to it. It works, but it's pretty slow. Under XP, I'd been backing up Quicken to a Zip disk, which just seems so out of date now. There's really nothing wrong with doing that, but I'm probably the last guy on earth still using Zip disks. Given how slow the iDisk backup is, though, maybe I'll stick with the Zip disks for a while.
