Vista - is anyone there?

Hooi! I have had Vista Business 32 for 2 weeks. While I find it so similar to any other Windows application, it's okay. Some nice changes, but even more obscure methods to remove things, such as How do I get rid of the Microsoft feeds in the News Feeder Gadget? I am not interested in what Microsoft has to say, I want my local news service in there, plus a few others, and if I choose "All Feeds" then I get Microsoft's feeds too, but I don't want them.

The help file is typically unhelpful. The mouse problem referred to in so many previous KB documents has still not been fixed.

Even though on setup we tell Vista that our currency is South African Rand and our Time Zone is +0200, when setting the regional information we still have to redo the time zone. DUH! Also, MSFT ought to know by now that we do not use Letter Size paper but A4, and we use Arial fonts not Times New Roman, and so the grievances continue.

I have worked with Microsoft products since DOS 2.1.

This is not Microsoft. This is a user group. If you are addressing your
comments to MS you should do so on their website. If you are seeking help
from users like us then please rephrase as questions and try to ask one
question per thread. Thank you.

So everything works fine in the web interface FOR YOU. How about the other

douche bag like YOU.

Just FYI
