Random Ramblings

Vista: The Good

  • You can type your credentials intl Remote Desktop and have it remember them if you like.
  • Windows + Tab
  • Easy printer install
  • User switching
  • Aero looks pretty
  • Hibernation works when you have over 1GB of memory
  • The little thumbnails when you hover on a task bar button, didn't think it was that good, but I missed it as soon as I was on an XP machine for a few hours.
  • Vista froze for a little bit on me yesterday, then came back saying the video driver had frozen.  Very cool something that would have probably resulted in a blue screen now just caused 5 seconds of umm is my machine going to crash, it didn't cool :) 
  • The new media player rips to mp3 now, prior versions required a paid add on I believe.
  • Dual monitors is handled very well, my desktop is now across a SyncMaster 232MP and my old BenQ.  Actually detected the second monitor when I plugged it in, asked me if I wanted to mirror or extend and picked the right resolution.
  • Driver installs with no rebooting.  Very cool.

Yes it is getting that way :) Now if only Apple would put two buttons on their laptops I would almost be ready to buy one of their machines.
