Nothing to like about Vista

This is just a new but messy user interface, nothing more. Microsoft could
easily convert XP machines to Vista by distributing some patches, images or
skins. I don't see any new operating system at all. By the way I believe XP
has much cleaner and easy to use interface logic.
There is nothing new here, nothing is easier. I believed transfering files
from old XP machine to new Vista was a great remedy, however it is crashed on
my case. It transferred much more files than I asked for, and Vista had to
crash at least 3 times during that.
I gave microsoft 3 out of 10 because of this poor effort.

Actually there a lot of new things, but many are small enhancements
rather than earth shaking major changes. The only thing I don't like
about Vista is UAC which seems to be universally hated except for
diehard Microsoft butt kissers.

Like with anything new it takes a little getting used to. When they
came out XP, Windows 98 before that, Windows 95 before that also took
time to get used to. Of course some people won't like some of the
changes. I think Vista with Aero enabled especially on a high
resolution wide screen monitor like I'm viewing it with on at
1920x1200 resolution is pretty sharp.

An example of wizzbang effect. In XP or without Aero the icons were,
well bland. Take a common icon, a folder in Vista and see the huge
improvement in clarity.

1. they can be much larger, your choice on size.
2. the detail is quite striking
3. for example with Aero

a. the folder is three dimensional
b. you can actually see the thickness if the edges
c. you see the folder tabs clearly
d. you see high quality shading, not just a solid color
e. you see a two color label on the inside flap of the folder
f. it also casts a shadow on the background.
g. there's also a shadow on the inside of the folder

I'll be the first to admit none of the above helps you get your work
done any faster, but it is freshing to see high quality crisp icons
and all have the same detail. Eye candy for sure, but nice eye candy.

If you click on a image in Windows Explorer you can see a thumbnail,
along with details of the image. Select several at once and you see
overlaping icons with thumbnails of each (first several)

There are similar enhancements all through Vista. Again, more eye
candy but it makes Vista look way sharper then ANY other operating
system that look cheesy next to Vista. :-)

Now that you feel better for venting your anger, why don't you ask for help with what ever problem
you have?
 
I have to agree and disagree with you about UAC. In concept, it is great. In
practice, it's not.

If they can do it, but make it so that you can allow an operation once, and
it won't ask you again, or make it so that you can select what operations it
does ask for permission, it would be much better. I like the protection, I
don't like it being so invasive.

Call me a MS butt kisser, but it still a good security measure, albeit
annoying at times.

The Pinball was groovy in Windows Me, too. How does it run? I would find
the sidebar distracting and not very productive. Who needs a giant
analogical clock taking up real estate?

The eye candy could have been just added to XP. No biggie. Linux has
groovy eye candy too.

What can you do with Vista, work wise, that you can't do with XP? Does
it send email faster? Print better? Fax better? I don't need a fancy
search because I know where I put things and remember where I put them.
And I most certainly don't need a pop up to ask me if I want to install
a program or not. Having a seamless install is MUCH more important.
Parental controls don't do anything for me either as I am way over 21.

You're also trolling. Why?

Well duh, that's what I've been saying along. The concept is good, but
the coding behind it is so weak it is laughable. If this is the major
feature of Vista, then Microsoft needs to take a serious look at the
team that produced Vista and took 5 years and this is the best they
came up with. The rest of the changes are basically eye candy and
shouldn't have taken more than a few months to code out. I think a BIG
part of the problem is Billy G is too busy giving his money away and
isn't minding the store anymore.
 
Vista was developed in 2 years, not 5. It's the shortest development time of
any OS released by Microsoft to date.

Not according to Bill Gates who admitted it took five years on
nationwide TV.

Sheesh, some people just will never get it.

OK, so suppose you have 15,000 pictures in 200 folders. You've tagged them
to include each person in each picture. You want to find all pictures that
have both Carole and Bob in them. You're saying you could view them all as
quicky going through folder-by-folder and file-by file as someone who types:

Bob AND Carole

in a search. Fat chance.

You don't even know how to properly attribute what poster said what.
With your moronic snipping you're making it look like I'm the one
having trouble with searching. Geez... some posters are so clueless.

I don't have nearly that many photos. And, the XP search works just fine
to find photos if need be.

Well, so get stuck with XP and don't bother us all. What's the problem
with this? I own different PCs at home, and only mine has been upgraded
to Vista, the others, where the latest versions of the operating system
is not important, have kept the OS they already had.

People often believes in his strenght much more than they should. I've
read dozens of stupid questions here and fool attempts to do foolish and
unnecessary things "the way I used to" that every time harmed the OS
stability. And all of this for the same, old, only reason: people don't
like to do thing the way OS is created for, but only the way they are used.

In this case yea, the wheel is more akin to a 5 sided polygon. =)
