Stupid Vista Bugs

[Mark Gillespie]

Talk about bad designs.

Run the sniping tool for the 1st time, as it asks you if you want to add
the tool to the quicklaunch bar, click no, it then takes a screen grab
BEFORE the dialog is closed, leaving a screen grab with the dialog box in
the middle.

1/ Whatever happened to consistancy in Vista? How many other tools ask
me if I want to add them to the Quicklaunch bar? Does Notpad or Paint do
this the 1st time I run it?

2/Bad design, a prompt that instead of helping totally destroys the tools
intended purpose/

3/ I logged this during beta, it never got fixes, how long does it take to
remove a prompt from the code??

Another indication that Vista was shipped due to deadlines, rather than
based on quality of product....

I think that was implemented by design, and I agree with the choice. You
can't make everyone happy.

The snipping tool is very likely something that will be used a lot more
frequently than something such as notepad (at least I do). If the first use
didn't put the snipping too in the quick launch area, I would have.

Since it is so easy to add to QL by right clicking on the shortcut on the
start menu, I don't see the need either. I rarely use it but use notepad
many times a day.

Easy for us, but my 59 year old brother doesn't know how to do it and
doesn't want to learn. He just wants to use the computer. If a program
places links on his desktop, they stay there forever. He has enough trouble
with his TV remote and setting the time.

How many millions are just like him.

Most, I reckon
