Vista's list of frustrations
Vista's list of frustrations
I mentioned that week that my email completely crashed and that I was now using a PC running Windows Vista. My old system, running Windows XP, did recover from the virus attack and it’s sitting in the lab. Unless things improve, I think I will be reverting back. I have been using this Vista system since Monday last week and I have started to accumulate a list of frustrations. It’s fair to say that part of my peevishness is simply because I’m busy and I resent the time it takes to learn the slight differences of a new operating system. But it’s also much more than that. Here’s my list so far of my pet hates of Windows Vista: The way the folder navigation works when you need to browse to other sections of the computer. If you open Documents, there actually isn’t a way to get to a secondary hard drive – you have to open Computer instead
  • Permissions that just don’t make sense
  • Having to give permission 2-3 times for the one action
  • Really getting rid of the firewall so that you can use ftps
  • Network connections just not working—with WinXP on the same network I never had so many problems
  • The see-through nature of the way Vista presents things means that you can’t see text boxes and buttons properly in some applications

I'll give it one more week before I decide.
