Vista

Who likes Vista?

I got it on my new laptop and the security features kinda annoy me. It is a pain in the ass to go to half the websites i frequent. And for everything you open it asks if you want to allow it. For some stuff it's ok. But all the time for everything is very annoying.

I kinda like the gadget bar. It makes me really think of a mac, especially with the weather and the clock. That reminds me a little bit of dashboard. roll I like the layout of mac's and was debating getting one, but I don't want to have to deal with the programs I use not working with them.

I don't like the options that come with the gadget bar though. Like you get to choose right or left side, what about top or bottom??

What are your thoughts?

I like it but some things are annoying about it. |

You can disable the UAC security stuff.

I voted "it's ok" but honestly I've barely touched my Vista Ultimate dual-boot that I've had since RTM, and I wiped Home Premium from my new laptop to install Ubuntu Linux, so it's really not that interesting to me at the moment.

Yeah I did that already. It was too annoying to me.

I always wanted to try linux but I heard it was a little complicated, so I didn't ever try it. And I won't put that on my laptop that I just got. If I ever decide to build another computer I might.

I like the idea of vista. It isn't compatible with too many things right now for me to use it though.

the programs you don't want to lose from "the switch" you can use by using virtual PC (or similar) and running an emulation of Windows XP

I'm on the it's ok bandwagon too. There are some cool things and some stuff in the future that might make it worth it. For now I'm sticking with XP Pro...
