Want to say something nice about Vista...

[Guest]

....sort of like, "My compliments to the chef."
Have had my Vista computer about 12 days now and have been able to install
ALL my favorite apps, including some which date back to Windows 3.1!!
The beta testers did a wonderful job of creating backwards
compatibility..hey I was one of the beta testers to which you sent a disk so
I guess I am partially complimenting myself and all those who participated in
that beta testing program. But, mostly, it's a compliment to those who kept
track of all the beta testers' feedback and acted on it! What a job that
must have been, but what a great idea that turned out to be for Microsoft
even though it must have cost a penny or two.
Thanks for all that hard work.

I like the search capabilities and the eye candy.
I see potential, but so far very unstable and of course compatibility is hardware more than anything else.
I did get the 32 bit version on the desktop and 64 on the laptop.
The learning curve is steep. But so was going from 98/ME to XP.

Actually, I HATE the search feature because of the constant indexing; I
turned it off. I use a tiny freeware utility called cathy.zip where you can
catalog ALL your drives and CD's with data on them and search them in SECONDS
when you are not even connected to the USB drives or have the CD in your
computer! You can search for ANYTHING across all your media or just search
a spot you think the file is in. You also can choose to scan drives or
cd's anytime or rescan them and it does that job in seconds too. I
discovered it after I found CDtree too bulky.

Actually, Cathy is postcard-ware because the author of it is in Europe and
just asks that you send a postcard to his young daughter if you want to, as
way of thanks for his writing the app. Cool.
