Vista - Do you think Vista is a breakthrough , comparing to Windows XP ?

My personal opinion is Vista is an abomination!
Someone decided everything, including the
kitchen sink, needed to be included Vista
instead of trying to design an operating system
that would be efficient and stable. It would be
refreshing if Microsoft could just once put
together a piece of software that REALLY was
their own original work AND it was functional!
Vista is just another effort on the part of Bill
Gates to take over the world, and your mind,
with Windows!

You forgot the most imporant one: The Search Index. If you have a ton of
files, that puppy is worth its weight in diamonds.

It's a small breakthrough from a security standpoint. It will force users
and programmers to use better security. I don't know how much malware costs
the industry but I expect those costs to drop if Vista is widely accepted.
In the end this may be more important than all the fluff.

No but I do like the egg timer. The new perfmeter looks pretty cool too.

I really doubt they will. Since when you ever see a manufacturer really
have their own original work? The TV you're using, the comp you're using,
the keyboard you're typing on, are not their original work but rather is
their own way to build a thing that works the same way. It's not like these
things are architecturally the same, but yet that's not their ideas too
right? So I bet you might want to throw out your keyboard and TVs and
computers...

Hi .

Do you think that Windows Vista is a breakthrough , comparing to Windows XP
? which extraordinary capabilities does Windows Vista have , that Windows
XP do not ?

For example , does Windows Vista have additional speech capabilities , such
as operating Vista via voice only (eg. I say via microphone "Start , All
programs" etc. and I can select the program I want to use) ?

Thanks in advance ,
Lior .

I would like the egg timer if it were silent until time is up. The constant
clicking is tooooooo annoying. Tick, tick, tick,
