Now, mind you, Windows 7 solves pretty much everything I listed above, and Windows 7 is actually quite nice.

It's been a year since i've formatted my vista install and it still boots quicker than my XP ever did. The search function allowes me to open most my programs without even giving time for the start bar to load... Just click the win key and type note fast and notepad is up and ready :)

For the post above, dont blaim vista. Blaim companies like Belkin who haven't takesn the time to develope good drivers. Very much like nvidia was when vista was first released.

Awful. It's painfully slow even on newer computers with excellent specs, it still has wireless issues with many, many cards and drivers, UAC is junk due to having zero customization, the interface is counter-intuitive especially compared to XP, the file sorting options have apalling defaults that you can't change except on a per-folder basis, it runs games significantly slower, it takes far longer to boot, etc etc.

Now, mind you, Windows 7 solves pretty much everything I listed above, and Windows 7 is actually quite nice.

How is the interface counter intuitive? I would love to hear some examples of this.

Also, what is your issues with folder defaults? I have never had any issues changing things at a system level.

I have also not seen any Wireless issues in a long time with Vista.

Folders: Every. Single. Bloody. Folder. in the entire freaking system was set to not allow sort by date as a default - something that is a very common sorting option. I reinstalled the OS, I installed every update, I checked every option and site I could find. There was no way to alter the global setting that actually worked, only on a folder by folder basis, manually. Mind-boggling.

This is an aside, but also was highly unimpressed with Aero, given that it was almost barren of features compared with Linux's equivalent yet used several times the resources.

And then there was the issue with the damn search. Sure, it was much faster. It also made quick filtering and options a pain in the ass. Instead of having an actual ui panel to do search, you just got that little box with a couple command switches. Nothing else worked correctly.

Etc. Etc.
