If you're using the new Windows Vista, do you like it?

Question

What do you not like about it? I just got a brand new PC that came with Vista. So far I love it, except I noticed that certain windows cannot be maximized like they could be for Windows XP. For instance, I tried playing Qbert in yahoo games but couldn't make the window full screen. Is anyone else experiencing any issues?

Answer 1

I don't like the restriction of use involving copyright protected media.
I don't like it not letting me install programs it deems "unsafe" or believes that they infringe on copyright protection.

I do not like having to use "run as administrator" to allow programs to install because this gives the installation process much too many rights that it would not have under XP.
- this has actually been exposed as a huge security flaw.

I do not like myself for having been a sucker for "eye candy" & not realizing that there really isn't much Vista can do that XP MCE didn't already do for me (& more that Vista will not).

Luckily I work for a PC manufacturer & did not have to pay for Vista.
I now am back to using XP Media Center Edition.
