I am still at the meh stage. I did come accross a couple of positives and a couple of negatives tht are all sort of related. Well, Vista is a power hog and eats battery life, even with Aero (shiny shiny) turned off. It just happens to be worse with Aero on. I think to help compensate for this they added a lot more power options...or at least made them easier to find (unlike nearly everything else). Along with the new found power options was a page where you can set what happens when the lid is closed. Lightman no longer goes to sleep just because the lid is closed. If you shut off Aero and use the Vista basic UI, to help save power and allow games to run a little better, you have to deal with a powder blue title bar and border. Or at least I do, the window that lets me change colors looks functional, but does not seem to actually be functional. Not power related, it does seem to find other computers on the network faster, of course, that could just be me. My last little annoyance is kinda lame, but so am I. I am used to being able to hit the keys Win, U, R in succession and the system reboots. Now that there is a search dialogue it looks for a program starting with 'ur'. Yay.
So yeah, I am still at this give or take opinion of Vista.
