Leon, I do the same, exactly :) Well, prefering the new interface with all the nice things and all or the classic speedier one is of course down to the guy using the PC. I admit I turn everything off in XP but keep the Aero Glass interface under Vista. Somehow Aero is less intrusive (for me) than XP with themes etc.
What I find annoying in Vista "the quest to get my menus back". I hate not having menus on every window. It is ugly but somuch faster to use menus. On another POV (performances... I only have the beta2, not the final) it seems OK really. If you have 10GB and 1GB ram for the OS only (Lightroom on Vista might require 2GB ram easily) then it seems to me Vista is perfectly usable, if your usual softwares are OK under Vista. 2007/2/20, Leon Altoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Mark, > > What makes one interface superior to another?
