Mr a-bomb 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Spread the love, even if it's not Vista; all positive Windows posts are welcome (except ME). The search indexer is great (and so is combining search and run in the start menu!). Your turn! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rapidDazz 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Umm.. I like black? And the black TaskBar that you can't change the colour of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirsquidness 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Umm.. I like black? And the black TaskBar that you can't change the colour of? My tastk bar is currently bright purple (not quit pink - that's what everything else is) Thankfully, when I click 'Cancel' on the "Window colours and appearance" box, it'll all go back to normal... *twitch* :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSecret 0 Posted March 10, 2009 The only thing about vista that irks me, is I have found no way to force it to remember how to view folders. I like to view one folder with details view, ordered by date modified. Other folders by name etc. Nothing I can do or set will stop vista from reverting to a seemingly random style.

.:Cyb3rGlitch:. 755 Posted March 10, 2009 I like: - The improved CPU scheduler - DX10 - Noticeably improved stability - Great range of drivers for x86 and x64 versions - Vast compatibility with software and hardware - UAC (everyone loves it, trust me :P) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr a-bomb 0 Posted March 10, 2009 UAC isn't bad. He's just misunderstood. I like the little features like the breadcrumb navigation in the explorer address bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My tastk bar is currently bright purple (not quit pink - that's what everything else is) Thankfully, when I click 'Cancel' on the "Window colours and appearance" box, it'll all go back to normal... *twitch* :p Certainly is a different choice. I should have been more spefic for you - but I'm pretty sure you understood where I was coming from in regards to the colors of the taskbar so I shaln't waste anymore breath (gotta save it for abusing you on IRC). How about... The vistasidebar..... I really do like it.... I have world times there, pictures cyling through (I tend to change my desktop background from one of the images that catches my eye when it changes) - weather outside (cause you don't go outside... sun hurts my eyes) - currency (curse you paypal and overseas bills) and server loads. /waits for someone to mock him and his love for the vista sidebar. And I think Aero is "neat" - not AWESOME - but just neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr a-bomb 0 Posted March 10, 2009 I like Aero too. Running the desktop in D3D makes everthing sooooooo smooth. The sidebar is okay, not really my thing though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smadge1 104 Posted March 10, 2009 I've got Vista Ultimate, so I'm biased I feel sorry for the people who have Vista Home Abortion Edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.:Cyb3rGlitch:. 755 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I've got Vista Ultimate, so I'm biased I feel sorry for the people who have Vista Home Abortion Edition. I have Ultimate, and feel the opposite sometimes! :P More crap to update! But it is nice having all the Business and Home Premium goodies in one OS. :) Edited March 10, 2009 by .:Cyb3rGlitch:.

bowiee 12 Posted March 10, 2009 Stability is what I love about it, I have never had a windows crash...............Take that XP ;) Oh and I also like the speed (on a new system) faster than XP. While xp was a great step forward from the horror show that was ME it is now showing it's age. Here's hoping that windows 7 is even better when it is released.

UAC IS good for what it was intended for, to keep the idiots from making changes to the OS. That said the people that don't need UAC are the one's that know how to turn it off.
