Vista? Cracking bit of kit. When you analysed it which bit didn't you understand or like?
Personally I quite like it, but I have my reservations about session 0 isolation, particularly the bit that says you can't ask for a session 0 desktop, only be offered one!I had my reservations at first but on the right hardware with current drivers it's fantastic. My HP lappy suspends immediately and will resume in under ten seconds. It's never BSOD'd and it's a good UI once you are familiar with it.
There are a couple of programs I can't run on it so my desktop has to run on XP still, otherwise that would be Vista too.
It seems people prefer to sg it off rather than learn how it works.

On the lappy its not the best, on the beast it runs like a dream.
My lappy is new and designed for Vista. It's got 4GB of RAM and eats anything I ask of it. I can imagine it being a bot of a dog if you don't run it on suitable hardware though. Bit like sticking a Fiesta engine in an old Bentley.

I therefore switched off auto update and it ran fine from pressing power to being ready took around 30-40 secs. After amonth or two i decided to try allowing some updates so allowed the majority of updates from the date after i switched off auto update. However now it takes 3-5mins to start up.
I have no problem with the software useability but what its doing to my laptop is winding me up. I really dont see why it should be such a battle.
