Hello marc57 !
Yes i believe that for YOU, all those issues weren't a big deal but to me those issues were driving me nuts. I'm not saying here i hate Vista or that it is a bad operating system because i really don't believe that. Even with all the issues it's still a nice OS and i wouldn't go back to XP no matter what. But i am very happy that SP1 is coming out and fixing all those issues with Vista, but i still cannot say
A few minor issues but that's all simply because some issues were a big deal to me.
Issues that i've noticed myself with Vista:
- the performance of browsing network file shares
- the speed of adding and extracting files to and from a compressed (zipped) folder
- the speed of moving a directory with many files underneath
- copying files after deleting a different set of files can make the copy operation take longer than needed
- the copy progress estimation when copying files within Windows Explorer
- the time to read large images
I also find the below quoted text very interesting:
With SP1, Windows Vista will report the amount of system memory installed rather than report the amount of system memory available to the OS. Therefore 32-bit systems equipped with 4GB of RAM will report all 4GB in many places throughout the OS, such as the System Control Panel. However, this behavior is dependent on having a compatible BIOS, so not all users may notice this change.This doesn't really bother me as i know it is a 32bit issue but it would still be nice if all of my ram would be shown in Control Panel. Don't know why but it would make me feel better.
