1. The start menu has definately improved, i switched on classic after reading your article, switched it right back. I think MS did a decent job with it. In slower systems, this may be a little sluggish nonetheless, keeps everything within my 1024 screen res (classic goes off cuz i have a butt load of programs installed and running fine)
2. The moving Rolodex can be reversed, tried using the SHIFT + WindowsKey + TAB?
3. I agree with the nagware that pops up and cannot shut it down stating i've disabled some startup programs, that bites :(
4. Individual file encryption is very possible since 2000, its called EFS, google it. :)
5. My sound card provider tells me that the drivers for Vista is in built but since the driver is so lean, it doesn't have features that my sound card does support like spatulization, etc, etc.
Cheers,
