John--

There will be a huge number of angry customers come RTM to public because
(I've been using RTM since it was available Nov 7):

1) Many bugs aren't fixed.
2) Recovery discs won't fix Vista 99% of the time. They also don't allow
people to reach Win RE' s startup repair from setup. Startup repair is
misnamed, because it can repair situations that don't block startup.
3) Vista DVDs with Startup Repair can be helpful, but it's not near as
reliable as a Repair Install was percentage wise in XP.
4) A significant number of people lose the control panel, but there is an
easy workaround. You can just use Help and Support to bring up one of its
components, then expand control panel to show the rest or use search in a
similar way--then copy those files and put them in a folder calling it CP.
5) A significant number of people have shell problems keeping Windows
Explorer working or IE working in Vista RTM.
6) There are 200 plus MSKBs that are not tweak or how to KBs but are rather
fix broken and buggy compnonets type KBs already based on Vista RTM.
