MS Vine Beta Install review

If you had signed up for MS Vine, then you would have got an email by now with a link to the beta.

Installing MS Vine was a pretty straight-forward process, although there was a period that just took ages, Installing .Net Framework Client Profile. Note, a reboot would be required after install.

After the reboot I ran into an issue when I tried to launch Vine the first time. Got a 2755 error. This was probably my fault, as I should have installed Vine as a local administrator. I launched Vine again, this time via-Run as Administrator and all went through well. Problem was caused because the program tries to create some folders under the Windows directory, which I had insufficient privileges to do so on my Vista.

Running Vine the first time would require us to type in a 4 digit pin, a personal code number of sorts. Once done, we’re in. The Vitals tab is where we would fill out our contact information and so on. The Places tab is where we add in our favorite locations, I got 2, for now. My home and the office. The People tab is where we add in our contacts and get to put them in groups that we define. Haven’t added in anyone as yet, about to do so soon.

My Initial thoughts? Sexy and easy to use. Looking through it more, and will post up more thoughts, any interesting bits and/or errors that I come across.
