Hello everyone! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.  I mean, everywhere you go! Okay, enough of that sillyness…

I’ve finally got Vista working well on the Media PC.  Turns out my video card was giving me fits.  I backed off and used a little simple card that doesn’t support the Aero Glass, and things are much better now.  I think I will need a new full system in order to take advantage of all that new graphical fanciness.  But for now Windows Media Center in Vista it looks just fine.

I read on their site that Axcis will be coming out with version 2.7 of Media Center Information Server Pro, and then my “Now Playing on the Media Center” will start working again.  I’ll install it as soon as I get it.

On another front, I think I am going to start buckling down and earning a Microsoft Certification.  It’s something I’ve been mulling over for a while, and I think I could do it.  I just need to brush up and take some practice exams.  From what I remember those questions can be a little tricky!
