Just upgraded to Vista

I just upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Home Premium. Aside from a few software incompatablities, I’m really enjoying my experience with Vista so far (been using it for ~2 days).
A few things I like:
- New Aero interface: transparency is sexy
- New Control Panel: easily shows me common things I need to fiddle with
- Built-in Search: Very snappy and lets me find what I’m looking for in a few seconds
- Flip 3D: Basically a flashy 3D version of Alt-Tab. I don’t know how practical it is, but it’s defintely nice eye candy
A few issues I’ve had since upgrading:
- TortoiseSVN’s latest stable build pops up an error about Explorer. Just download a Nightly Build instead and you’re fine.
- I really didn’t like Vista’s new User Access Control security feature. I can understand how it would help a mainstream user from destroying his/her computer, but for me it was more a nuisance than a useful feature.
- When running Trillian Pro, Vista reverts your Aero Glass interface Aero Basic. Read this thread for a quick fix.
That’s pretty much it. My advice for people who haven’t upgraded yet: Unless you REALLY want to play with the new flashy features, just stick with XP. There aren’t enough essential features to warrant an immedate upgrade. Just get it pre-installed on your next new PC purchase.

Before you waste $500 on VISTA ask yourself this do i download music, movies or pictures for FREE? if you answered yes than i recommend that you dont get sucked into vista. it is exactly the same as XP accept it looks cooler AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO BLOCK MUSIC AND MOVIE DOWNLOADING. think about it hundreds, thousands of bands trying to make money and everybody downloads thier songs off limewire or morpheus or where ever they can. and what about multimillionare movies, most people like you and i just download them. VISTA has come to gether with an idea, to block all websites that offer FREE DOWNLOADING, to block all P2P software. the other day i decided to upgrade my morpheus and to my surprise anything that i wanted to download would be blocked, i typed in a song, tried to download it and it says, THIS IS A COPY RIGHTED VERSION. they are taking over our entertainment. in 5 years vista will be installed on every computer in the world. go to your daily harvey norman or WOW catalogue and what do you see every single laptop, pc, now comes with vista. vista only came out like a month ago they would have to be mad to offer it already installed. maybe if you listen to the song DOWNLOAD THIS SONG by MC LARS you will understand.pass this on. tell everybody you know, about VISTA. just amagin, teens of the future having to pay for their music and movies.
as this web site suggests, everywhere you look there is freakin vista. we have no choice they are forcing us to upgrade, thats why all the new computers and laptops are coming out with vista, and then you have to go and buy xp because your not happy with vista. it sucks
