My Vista Upgrade, Cont.

I am about a week into using Vista and I have to say that I love it! I am extremely happy with the program, and though I seem to like Office 2007 a little better, they are both big improvements over their predecessors. I had read a lot of information about Vista and Office 2007 and was expecting to be disappointed. However, the opposite has happened. The upgrade was almost hassle-free and I am impressed with all the new features. Still, I have only scratched the surface on most of the improvements and will continue to post reports on what else I find. Below are my notes on Vista from the week.

Pros:
  • The new searches on Vista and Office 2007 are incredible
  • Most of the programs I use moved to Vista without incident
  • The sidebar, which displays gadgets like weather, a calendar, etc., is a nice touch
  • Outlook 2007 is huge improvement, and I loved the 2003 version
  • Windows Explorer and My Computer have better interfaces
  • Wireless connectivity is much better
  • Remote access is faster and more reliable
  • The Windows view is impressive, as shown below:


Cons:
  • Our color printer will not work with Vista yet
  • A few interface changes do not allow customization
  • WinDVD would not install
