Vista Vista Vista.....

after using the RTM for a month here is what I think of it.

1. UAC isn't annoying (this WILL vary from person to person) but I am a power user and do more than most I might get a UAC prompt once a week and its usually to do with modifying the TCP/IP stack. However SU beats UAC because of how windows handles profiles when using UAC. UAC = runas +secure logon, SU is true privilege elevation.

2. It's fast, darn fast.
3. It's stable, very stable. some programs have locked but I haven't rebooted since install.
4. Search is greatly enhanced, and as always search folders rule.
5. Aero is prettier than OSX (IMO), but its implementation seems to be no more than a skin, whereas XGL and OSX have a true 3d feel to them. Plus they both have the cube for a desktop manager.
6. and finally, it really was NOT worth the wait.

I like it better than XP for a lot of reasons, but it really fell short of my expectations.
