Windows Xp vs Windows Vista

[tosca925]

I found this article on the differences of both OS. Its quite good especially for those who have not seen Vista yet.

It's looking very nice in places- though is it just me or does the Explorer window look too "cluttered"? I mean, I love the depth that I can go to using something like Konqueror in KDE as a file browser, but Windows Explorer has traditionally been a little less functional than other file system browsing mechanism--I wonder how long term Windows users will fare with the detail that seems to be there now?

Thanks for the link Tosca.

There is a Black Marble event (advertised by Microsoft) for FREE on Vista for managers, I am off to that. Its being held in Bradford - http://www.blackmarble.co.uk/Events/May2006.aspx Its free, so I am off to that, may pickup something useful, and its only 1/2 day and its free and has a bunfight as well, so what can you loose!

Did you say it was free?

Wow, and it's in my home town! Not often we get things...cept the odd riot obviously.

Is it me, or does the new start menu (or whatever it's been renamed to these days) have the icon / font look of anything KDE based?

If anything, my theory (if I'm right about the above) is that it'll make Linux much more approachable to novice users as a result..

Quite. I still haven't been given a convincing reason to upgrade to Vista.

[MrDylan]

I like the Breadcrumb Bar.

And I like upgrading.

Apparently you can do a filetype filter in WinExplorer now (*.zip for example to show only ZIP files), which is only an idea me and some friends discuess all of 7 years ago

You've been able to do that in Gnome/KDE for the past 4 years.

I think we will find that they push there solutions at us as well as the info we possibly want, but its just the usual be pollite, and yes send me the info, then you can recycle it when you are back in the office
