Quoting EyesOnly

Like i needed another reason not to get vista.

Is microsoft trying to put people of from bying their software. Seems like it with the release of crap like this.

I think you're looking at it wrong. Rob's approach is right. It's not that the direction is bad for the average guy who keeps forgetting about the "right click thing". Its just bad for geeks. I've seen some of his install problems though haven't pushed Vista intalls the way he has. I'd add a few more problems for us geeks:

1. Vista assumes I'm too dumb to understand a path. So the address bar shows it in....I still haven't figured that out. Just show me the path!
2. Geeks have all their docs organized in folders that make sense. When we search, more often then not its for some hidden system file deep in some path that starts with c:\windows\system32\blah, blah. I still haven't figured out how to get search results that I trust in Vista's indexed thing.
3. I'm convinced the "End Process" button isn't connected to anything. After a while you finally get a screen that says Windows is searching for a solution. Criminy I was just trying something...end the %$#@!* process!
