What problems have you had to date with Vista?

I have looked up and down the new specs of OSx and have not seen one thing that I would say is not already out there. All the latest releases to the MAC os has either been about searching or trying to make it easier to use as in the new "scenes" where you can arrange your desktop into four frames. Quite useless if you ask me.

 

Virtual desktops is a pretty useful feature which has been in most Linux distros for ages, and could be added to XP via a rather buggy powertoy.

 

I have vista dual booted on my computer (though I dont use it) and I would like to set up the wireless although I cant figure out how i tried the connect to and the connect manually and auto connect and it just wont work... anyone know

 

The only problem now that I have noticed with Vista....actually my bro found it out is the windows explorer thing.....anyone notices it crashes sometimes?

 

You kinda ignored what I said, there. I have noticed rhat windows explorer crashes sometimes, to my great annoyance. It means I have to ctrl, alt + del that kill it, then restart it with the "run" command.

 

Sorry I missed your post. See that is what I call a bug. The other things about compatibility issues are not bugs. But this one is.

 

Yea I hate that its so annoying

 

That's the only problem i currently have with vista. and it was not until last week i got the problem.

 

i had a few major problems with vista. it was terribly slow on a far superior computer than i had xp running on. every time you do ANYTHING it asks you if you're sure, which slows down anything you're trying to do and needless to say gets extremely aggrivating. my main problem with it is that it does nothing for me that xp didnt. all it does is makes my normal daily business tasks take twice as long. i wouldnt reinstall it if i were paid to.

 

Just turn off UAC and you won't get those useless confirmations.

I like some Vista stuff. XP doesn't let you quickly search your Start menu or some folder you're browsing. And there's a bunch more.

Things I do wish they'd kept are the ability to change icons of different filetypes and the old, much faster and more capable image viewer.

 

its not friendly , i can't finger it like xp

 

I have absolutely no idea what that means.

 

Same here.

 

May be he is talking about Finger service.

Well that's what I was thinking at first then if you read

I doubt the guy is using 98 sooo?

 

I am using vista on my core solo 1.6 laptop 512 mb 80 gb, it's working very good. I am using wifi also that it's also working fine. i am happy with vista.

 

I'm using Vista 64bit os + 2 gig ram and the only real complaint that I have is the bluetooth support and I hate the way that you have to add a shared printer from an XP machine.

 

Wifi on Vista is perfect. Although it asks you if your really want to connect to a insecure network is lets me have my chance and I don't have to beg for it....lol.

 

My wifi wont connect I have to use a wire when i use vista, it just wont let me connect ive tried manual setup and everything

 

Wifi is buggy as hell, "forgets" that you saved a network previously and often fails to auto-connect.
