This blog went quiet a couple of months ago due to the fact that I started preparing for and actually moving back to Norway after a year in the Middle East. After returning back home in Norway just before Christmas we have been travelling around visiting family for the holidays and after that the house has needed some attention after a year of absence on our part.

Well, hopefully I will be back with more stuff now that I am (almost) settled in again.

I have deployed various versions of Windows Vista on the computers back home in order to test out hardware compatibility and to see how my home network will work. It hasn’t been too hard getting it all set up and I must say that I am pleased with the user experience.

I will return with more info on setting up a home network utilizing Vista, as well as a review of the final product (releases around the official launch of Vista).

So the time has finally come. Windows Vista was RTM’ed today. A more than 5 year long jorney has finally “ended”. I am looking forward to seeing and getting the final product, but as a regular consumer I will have to wait untill the end of January for that.

For more info see the Jim Allchins announcement on the Windows Vista Team Blog, and Paul Thurrotts post in Wininfo.

According to several sources on the net, among them Paul Thurrott, Office System 2007 has RTM’ed. The same sources says that Windows Vista will RTM this week, with build no 6000. More to follow…
