Hello all. I just got my first Vista machine, and am learning how to best
make use of it. Those of you who use it and like it (the rest of you can
ignore this thread :-)), what features new with Vista do you use?

Thanks in advance,

Like, maybe, the Smart Folders thing? :-) Is there anything other than
"enhanced security" and slidey Apple-like graphics?

Which version of Vista are you running Patty?

I have Vista Ultimate pre-installed on a Dell laptop and I've since
installed Service Pack 1.

It's OK but definitely no Wow factor for me. I haven't explicitly looked for
negatives. I just kept an open mind and let it do its thing.

Relearning my way around the folders (C:\Users instead of C:\Documents and
Settings... etc) has been a bit irritating.

New features. Can't say I'm using any really. I don't use it much
differently to XP Pro.

Hi John - I have Vista Ultimate too - just got it yesterday. What you
describe is pretty much what I've heard elsewhere, so I guess I shouldn't
expect much excitement. It would be nice if there was a little more pay-back
for having to learn a new system and having to put up with the security
stuff - you know, some fun or even just ful improvements.

You haven't tried "smart folders"? I'm going to check that out.
