Hi guys,

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on their experience with vista so
far. Please comment on anything you like.

Myself, I am very disappointed. I develop mainly for the web and vista is
not exactly the main source of needed technology for a better web experience
but it has its potential(sidebar and ie7). The end user experience to me is
the most disappointing. I find it really lacking in improving the user
interface. I find it less intuitive but in the right direction. I Feel that
if MSFT wanted to steal some good ideas(OS X) in developing a better user
experience then they should have stole the whole and not a part.

Please let me know what you guys think?
 
With all due respect this repeats several threads already. Try adding your

I suggest that you just open your browser and read what has already been
posted. There are thousands of posts that will keep you entertained for many
days.

Hello
I received the Basic version 5384. On my HP m7470n, using a CLEAN INSTALL,
it installed, found ALL hardware just fine.

I had to learn the new setup for networking (lay out), it took some time,
but found all computers on the network (4) total.

The only trouble I had was with IE7, running JAVA. After turning off the
protection mode, it fixed that problem, and d/l the beta 1.6 java.

The only game I had trouble with was EVE. It took some time, reading, and
getting into regedit to fix a few items (add) FIXED.


The main things I don't like;
1. Had to use regedit to add the Administrator user (Small problem)
2. A simple way to turn off the safety features in the Administrator logon.
3. A simple way to turn off the safety features in USERS ACCOUNTS.

The new safety features (Good for new computer users, a headache for us
old goats that been around
since Radio Shack Model 3 and Model 4 days....LOL....


So over all I give Microsoft a (A-)

The tech team at MS and at EA, need a pat on the back.....Well done......

Thanks

I agree, and by all means pat them. Click on the Feedback icon and use the
hyperlink in the first paragraph. The site is aptly named "Sentiments."
 
Overall, I am enjoying the Vista experiance. Granted I have some issues
with different programs and games, but this is a beta. It's nice to be able
to report and give feedback to make it even better for RC1. I honestly
believe that when Vista is released on the market, it will be a lot better
thanks to everyone submitting bug reports and suggestions.
