this is wrong... at least 10 of the most stupiid worst things of windows
ever belong to VISTA da CRAPISTA OS
Good to see AERO GLASS in there since the concept of seeing BELOW your
window is STUPID as I have said a TRILLION FRIKIN TIMES!
Oh about the 9 different ways of shutting down vista.. LOL
I have said that many times here even posted the same articles...
Some idiot Vista Boys keep asking for me to provide PROOF that vista is
stupid..
well I have already posted a great deal of information that clearly shows
vista is crap...
yet they want to ignore it. hoping that somehow their vista will be
transformed magically into an OS worthy of our time effort and money...
I vote vista to be the worst product EVER in mainstream computer software

No.. you have posted a great deal of cr@p that shows *you* think Vista is
rubbish.
However its safe to disregard your opinion as it is obviously just an
irrational rant.

It was interesting. A few hits, a few misses.
But I definitely agree about the registry. What a convoluted, anarchistic
and twisted thing that has become.

The PCWorld article is actually quite informed and makes some valid points.
My take on the article, as a whole, was that Vista has fixed a lot of things
that were wrong in previous versions of Windows. It's also introduced a few
more that people aren't so keen on. UAC seems to be the most reviled - Though
I have to admit that I've actually got used to it now and hardly notice it.
But Aero? Come on, I love Aero.
What sort of crappy PC must you be running if Aero won't work. I've got a 5
year old Dell GX270 that's running Vista with Aero no problem. Sure I had to
put in a new Graphics card, but that cost me about £10 ($20). I can't believe
that any new PC purchased today can't run Aero!
Your point that Vista is "stupid" is interesting to me. Please explain to my
how you have come to this weighty conclusion?

"43" can't use vista so its stupid.. like brain surgery is stupid because he
can't do it.
Its so stupid.. I know an 87 yo that uses Vista.. but "43" can't.
So until someone shows him how to use it we will just have to ignore his
whine.
It will be a few years before he is old enough to have a five year old to
help him even if he starts now. ;-)

Do other OS's (Mac, Linux) have something similar to the resistry?
It was interesting. A few hits, a few misses.

Nope. Linux uses basic text files for it's configuration for virtually
everything. Has the advantage that if a file gets corrupted, you can
correct it with any basic text editor as the information is human
readable and you can do so without running the OS. For instance, you
could just boot a rescue CD, edit your config file on the hard drive, fix
it, reboot..and have a usable system again.
Can't do that with the windows registry.

Macintosh doesn't, and I'm pretty sure Linux doesn't either. I don't see the
problem with having all your prefs and setting in one place. It make central
administration easier (Group Policy for example).
I've never known a registry to become corrupt in all my years of supporting
Windows. If this were such a flawed concept I think it would have been
dropped long ago.

The only problem there though is that there are innumerable scattered
inconsistent lengthy convoluted text files scatter all over the harddrive
making for many confused nightmares when one does go to try to fix one.

Thanks for your reply.
One thing that I don't like about the regisitry is that it makes it very difficult to move over
settings to another PC. Settings tend to be spread across the registry and some configuration files.
I usually have to manually re-configure things which can be very time consuming, and I often don't
quite get them right. In the days of DOS, sometimes I only had to copy over a configuration file,
and everything worked fine with the modified settings the same as on my old PC.
I can see the advantages of the registry (one application can go to a central place to find the
settings for another application) but overall, I do wonder if it's such a good idea.
Another related question: If I have a new PC with the same Windows OS as my previous one, I can't
just "copy" my applications over to the new PC - I have to re-install them and set them up as I like
them. Is this just because of the registry (in which case presumably Mac and Linux don't have this
problem) or are there other reasons too?

Ahhh, the good old day of .ini files where every program maintained it's own
parameters and to do a "clean-up" you just deleted the unused programs
folder. Everything went bad when Microsoft decided that there should be
shared folders and expected 3rd party software developers to write code the
cleaned up after themselves.

Exactly! My three year old Dell Dimension 9150 runs Aero fine.

Isn't most corruption due to user intervention? Leave well alone!

Yes. I think some missing features in Vista - which were there in XP
- are a mistake. There is no way in the OS to include active (web)
content on the desktop, and the old folder properties -> file
association screen disappeared, taking with it any way to change
program icons (excluding direct registry changes). Strangely, icons
for shortcuts *can* be changed from the properties pages!
