Vista - What were they thinking?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday I was on the new laptop and I dragged the Open Office install and
| setup icon on the desktop to the recycle bin and I got a status bar that went
| on for over a minute. I finally canceled it, highlighted the icon, and hit
| the delete key and it deleted it. Little annoyances like this are becoming so
| common in Vista that I start to question Microsoft's ability to test. We are
| talking about a new laptop with next to no new software installed on it and
| minimal usage thus far. What the heck is the user experience going to be like
| after my kids mess with the laptop for the next few months?

| give me back my money ASAP.

Trouble Shooting The Blue Screen of Death
,----[ Quote ]
| Fortunately since Windows 2000 this has become less of a common occurrence,
| or so it seemed. Working late last night at a client’s office on a handful
| of problems already, Windows Vista (Brand new machine, only a week old)
| decided to show me otherwise. While copying some vital files to the
| machine, it restarted windows. After a rebooting to the login screen,
| it then repeated the process of halting and restarted, nice!
