From what I've seen of Vista, I don't like it. I especially HATE, and I
really don't hate much, the MSN search on IE7 that can't be turned off. The
All Programs part of the Start menu really sucks, as it stays open to the
last place visited, doesn't display long program names, and has things on it
that most people won't ever use!

And don't get me started on Explorer!

As it is, if I ever user Vista, I'll be turning almost everything to classic
mode!

MS seems to have made changes, just for the sake of making changes where no
changes were necessary.

As of right now, Vista sucks the big one!

How good I don't even use IE *g*
Can't really imagine it became more standard compliant in the next version.

Can you give me the source of that? I'd like to know more to complain about
^^

Same in XP. Considering there might be a day when I start using Vista, they
still have the classic menu. I want my programs list with one stroke on the
P key, not by cycling thorugh many entries that react to P.
MS seems to have made changes, just for the sake of making changes where no
changes were necessary.

They're adjusting it to look nice and easy for each possible n00b (like
grannies). Not taking into account that ppl who already worked some time
with a computer need efficiency rather than Teletubby-meadows, coloured
buttons and animated dogs that tell you what to do.
As of right now, Vista sucks the big one!

Not to mention all these graphical gimmicks that require DX9 (as far as I
heard). Ludicrous, I don't get it. Took me a looong time until I finally
switched from 2k to XP, first reason was the disk usage (had only 20GB HDD
back then).

Even the OP's his forum has a big annoyance for a fast surfer *lol*
(klicking _anywhere_ in the topic list entry opens the respective thread).

But hey - isn't this forum _the_ place to post this?

I want LCARS-Simplicity ^^ - http://www.lcarscom.net/lcars/

Looks like they've grafted a bit more skin on XP. I wonder what they'll
charge for it.

It's in early Beta, and things will change between now and RTM. BUT "as

Bummer, now go back to using your previous user ID.

Which reminds me of a couple of things I did like that were new to
Vista!

MS's public web server was set up in OE by default! ["Default User" was
the default user name, (e-mail address removed), the default
email addy]

And not only that, but OE can be set up in options to bottom post!

OE still had the version number of 6.x not 7, like IE.

And Booby, I had already change it back yesterday, once I realized that
I forgot to set it up.

But that Booby for ya, he is always behind the times!

It can change to google or yahoo or some others by clicking the magnifying
glass and selecting the search you would like to use!
