I'm actually disappointed with Vista, it is still not user-friendly enough and it had so much more potential (Smilie).

You can read my thoughts at my blog if your interested (Smilie)

I cannot play my music I legally downloaded from iTunes. I feel ripped off all because Microsoft is scared of the AACs!

why should microsoft add support for AAC? all DRM is just silly.

I finally sat down to install the thing and after a long, long, looooooooong wait, it installed. BUT... I am really, deeply, uncontrollable disappointed, it is like a flashy XP ... I thought Microsoft would make a user friendly OS for once.

rofl at not being user friendly.


In regard to the install time, the installer takes half the time the XP one does, and the vista install is alot more streamlined, unlike the XP one which keeps asking for more information every 2 seconds (highly annoying).

Vista is far far far more than a flashy xp, its based off server 2003 which is a nice stable code base.
They have also rewritten alot of things to make its easier for developers and for the users like the audio stack, one big feature that comes from this is the per application volume control which just rocks imo . They added the Windows Display Driver Model which allows for video drivers to be installed without rebooting, and allow for video drivers to crash (*looks at nvidia*) and it wont bsod, it just restarts the driver. other crazy changes include the I/O scheduler, increased security, built in indexed search, real symbolic links (they even support UNC paths).
Then theres the desktop window manager (aero) which allows for all those neat little effects (like winkey+tab and the live thumbnails which are shown when you hover over the start bar) by drawing the windows offscreen and then composited into the desktop.

and im sick of typing, just go google the changes
