vista, so far

Thursday, February 15, 2007

Josh and I have been using Windows Vista for a week now. I think the first thing I always say I like about it is that it's pretty. The Windows Flip for example, is one of those unnecessary things but it's just so cool. The sidebar is full of fun gadgets.

Not only is it pretty but it's a lot safer. There is Windows Defender, the Firewall and the security features (like the Mac commercial is making fun of). I really don't mind the security questions. It's not like it's constant questioning and it does remember what you say.

One thing I don't really care for is the Fast Sleep and Resume. A quick way to hibernate your computer and then wake it back up. It seems like every time we put it to sleep it does something a little goofy. Sometimes the blue power light will flash all night, sometimes it won't. This morning the computer wouldn't start back up! I killed the power strip and then everything came back up. I guess it's for when you need to quickly start your computer back up. I don't really mind waiting so I think I'll go back to the regular shutdown.

Overall I'm glad that we were able to upgrade right away. The more I use it the more I like it.
