| | :-( sp1 removes Instant Search in start menu I am REALLY mad to read (winsupersite.com) that Vista Service Pack 1 R E M O V E S the instant search field from the start menu! :-( I use the instant search often, finding it the easiest way find a single file that i'm not certain where lies. And now MS will punish me as a customer by withdrawing one of the useful features of vista (instead of the many useless ones) just because Google complains. Microsoft, shame on you for NOT focusing on delivering a good product to your customers, but continuing with silly stuff like RED or Version N or 8 different kinds of Vista SKU's. One suggestion would be to make the next version of Windows configurable: on installation one can select all ones features - the customer gets far closer to the kind of windows he wants and competitors and antitrust-politicians get their way too. (sort of). This would also help Microsoft figure out where to invest development-resources. but until then, i'll just sit here, being bitter over having lost my beloved instant search. :-( |

| | Re: :-( sp1 removes Instant Search in start menu But that's the most usefull feature in Vista, with that search (on the right side) I can find whatever I need to find on my computer, so why are they removing it that make no sense if they put it there in the first place When I was with XP, I tried Google search and it was useless, it could not even find a single file, and the search feature in Vista find exactly what I'm looking for "Dave" <dcox1961@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OHyEZyJdIHA.3788@xxxxxx Quote: > > "isthis" <isthis@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:F9F4D670-0DC5-4BF5-8D49-66D100F8E771@xxxxxx Quote: >>I am REALLY mad to read (winsupersite.com) that Vista Service Pack 1 R E M >>O >> V E S the instant search field from the start menu! :-( >> >> I use the instant search often, finding it the easiest way find a single >> file that i'm not certain where lies.
