Praise and Complain

Praise
------

- 40 minute installation time (even though Longhorn promised 15 minute
installs)

- Nice bundled applications

- Purble Place is excellent!

- Process prioritization is wonderful (videos are glitch-free, even without
Aero)

- New Tablet PC cursors make pen feel more responsive and accurate

- Previous versions

- Input Panel doesn't stays there until you close it (XP Input Panel feels
clumsy, it keeps disappearing by itself)

- Pen flicks are nice (even though I seldomly use them)

Complain
--------

- Too many versions of Vista

- UI inconsistency (not all use Sergoe UI font, Font dialog box is Win3.1
style, some XP icons still appearing

- It's been 5 years and just 3 new games?

- Start menu not much improved

- Poor integration with Windows Live (conflicting WLM vs WM)

- WinFS and Ink Filenames got cut out from Longhorn (where your ink is the
filename)

- When you type a filename with e.g. ?, Vista does not tell you immediately
that filenames can't have ? in it. XP does this, Vista reverts your typing
after you hit enter and popping up a dialog box.

You should use the Feedback function that comes with RC1 if you want MS to
see it.
