Just me? ok.
No, seriously! I've tried installing Windows Vista (yes, that "nightmare" of an OS) on a VM and it keeps BSODing! I hate it, thought: the rumors of SP1 are true so i get the idea of how much of an impact Vista had on Computer History as one of the most rushed & hated OSs of all time (as of this date)
Vista, however had amazing features that we take for granted BIG TIME! For Ex. The Aero theme that first came with Vista and only Vista (then 7). at the time, people didn't know why vista needed such high requirements just to run it, even for only home basic! However, the time finally came for Intel to finally step up their game and released the 1st generation of Core 2 processors, making the Pentium a mid-range CPU from now till' the end of time. (or until their lineup is discontinues)
Anyway. the installation was working as expected until it tried to set up the second phase of the System Setup, where the entire VM just Blue-screened.
I tried many different configurations, even then: the OS wouldn't budge from Blue-screening in the end. Then again, there can always be compromise in the ISO itself.
There can be a defect within the file that may cause the setup to abruptly force a unstable piece of code as it was loading the second part of the installation or it could've just been Vista altogether
Ok, so now I've downloaded the 64-bit file to see if it installs correctly onto the VM... and it works!
Huzzah!
Something was really wrong with the VM... or just my specs being too advanced for the 32-bit version of Vista
Eh, even with the installation of 64-bit, of course vista will stop working in a matter of hours due to how rushed the code-base was for Service Pack 1...
BUT AT LEAST IT WORKS, RIGHT?!? IT WAS WORTH SLEEPING AT 12AM, RIGHT!?!
Eh, it still was... and I'm glad I have a functioning ISO from now on.
😴
