Vista, which is a significant upgrade over XP despite the popular
opinion to the contrary. Note I'm counting from power-on to 'all
background services started'. I can get a working UI much quicker than
that (about 45 seconds) but my experience is that it's always best to
wait until the background stuff has started.
The only real complaint I have about Vista is they changed the
appearance, names and locations of stuff for no apparent reason.
Makes it more difficult when I have to interact with the OS itself,
because I have to figure out what the new name is, where they've hidden
it and have a whole new learning curve for getting it to do what I want
it to do.
And that's one of the reasons I'm delaying moving to Windoze 7 ... I'm
only now just beginning to get used to where they've hidden the widgets
I need to twiddle occasionally, and don't want to deal with another new
learning curve.
Plus, I've learned to allow Micro$oft's early adopters to deal with the
inevitable problems.
When is Service Pack 1 for Windoze 7 due out?
Once that's available bundled with the base OS I'll consider switching.
