LIST OF VISTA FEATURES
======================
1. New statup sound
2. New shutdown sound
3-91. Icon changes to everything you already had and have become
familiar with
92-128. Changes in location of configuration programs you're going to
need to use to get anything done
129-167. Restrictions that weren't in place before
168. A browser that doesn't work right, not even as well as previous
ones that didn't work well
169-224. A new EULA that has far more restrictive language in it than
previous versions
225-227. Higher costs
228-229. A buggy subsystem that prevents nearly all anti-virus from
protecting the holes in the system
230-371. New holes in the system
372-522. Old holes in the system
523-524. A buggy subsystem that prevents most drivers from working,
except in the case of drivers from those companies that paid
extortion to the monopolists
525-607. More restrictions
608-609. Even higher costs than before to get things that make the
whole shebang anything approaching useful
610-?. More buggy subsystem quirks that have yet to be found by the
good guys, but which are likely already known to bad guys who
are waiting until more people are using Vista to cause the
damage
Hundreds. Probably hundreds more, too.
