1. Hate - Resources Hog ... 2GB installed, and some thing actually want more.
2. Love - Speed - faster than XPSP2 Corp. by extreme amounts.
3. HATE - Search/help online - almost not, XP SP2 was 95% to 98% better, faster and easier to understand.
4. Love - Search on system is very fast. If your HDD's are indexed. if not indexed, very slow... I do use Index.
5. Love - Copy to - once the patch was applied, the copy to is fast .. after registry hack copy to is very fast. on tests about 25% faster than XP.
6. HATE - Move to - ungodly slow. wastes memory, makes too many copies before it moves.. 1. copies to verify, 2. copies into Shadow, 3. moves to new source, 4. then verifies, 5. then verifies against the shadow copy. (finished) what a total waste of memory, and time.
7. UAC is both love it for security hate for the wasted click click click. I am a Type "A" person. (Added the reg mod so now I only have 1 click.)
8. IE7 - MS Search - HATE - Google Search addon is LOVE
9. Auto internet search and setup is Fantastic... - Love-
10. Ultimate - HATE not much to see in Ultimate Waste of Money. MS promised lots but have given very little.
11. WMP 11 - love - needs fewer codecs to play. Gives Higher Quality
Over All I enjoy Vista, have converted all my systems to Vista...
12. Vista MVP blogs - Love- are simply the greatest...
13. HATE some websites that claim to have the latest info... and when you read many forums and other sites... they are about 1 day late with all the news.
14. Love #12 .. they actually work on this OS and or parts of it, and give super tips, how to, and why to do, and why not to do, sometimes it takes lots of reading to understand.. but I'm retired and do like to READ.. PS: they also have RSS subscriptions.
