I got a new HDD the other day so I did some file moving. I cloned my OS from one of my 320GB HDDs to the new one then I deleted all the files from the 320GB and moved about 120GBs from another HDD to the 320GB HDD that used to have the OS on it.

I read in a lot of places that disabling the graphics hardware acceleration might be forbidden with Windows Vista.

One machine in my office is used as a file server i.e. all files by all the staff members are stored in that machine. I have installed *licensed Vista Business* in that machine.
