I have been hanging on with Vista in case SP1 fixed all the bugs and have
been running it for a few days now - but still the big problems persist - I
still get random catastrophic USB failures. Seems that Vista just cannot
cope with multiple USB connections as well as XP can.
The folder settinsg seem to get remembered a bit better now, but I still
cannot understand the "logic" which decides what folders are opened with
what settings. They just seem totally random to me, bearing no relation to
the content. At least now the manual changes are remembered until the next
time though.....
It is still dismally slow to reboot.
And still the annoying "permission required" warnings when I want to delete
something obviously redundant (eg leftover foldes from uninstalled
software).
Still too much bloat and incompatibility with other microsoft products (eg
microsoft fingerprint reader and sidebar do not coexist without conflict,
windows fax files are not included in Vista backups and you can't move the
fax default folder to somewhere that is included in backups without crashing
fax, DEP still prevents downloading of jpeg movies from a microsoft
telephone via microsoft mobile device center, and liveone care still not
properly compatible with Vista).
If Microsoft can't even make their own products compatible with one another
then it is no surprise that Vista does not work with a whole load of other
perfectly good software. DISASTER!!!
I'm now taking the plunge to format and reinstall everything on XP. Thank
you Microsoft for wasting my time!!!
