Also see, Windows Vista Sucks!

Some more things that have come to mind:

• While not as bad as Win2K, the startup and shutdown times are really long in Vista (much longer than in XP)
• My attempt to burn a DVD was a miserable failure. After wasting several disks, I decided to buy a portable hard disk and wait till my Win2K machine came out of storage
• I still have programs that have compatibility problems. This is just annoying
• The suspend/sleep/hibernate is flaky
• It takes forever for the wireless to resume when coming out of the suspended state
• Is much harder to get details from Windows Update about what the update actually does. The top level description generally is “update for windows” – you know, because when I launch an application called Windows Update, I am still confused as to what it might contain. Moreover, after you click down a level you still only get a really high level description and have to click again (and hit the internet) to get a real description of what the update actually does. I wouldn’t be so angry at this except for the fact that I have had so many MS updates make things worse that I don’t like to just apply them willy-nilly
• The mouse/touchpad “sticks” when it hits the edge of a window. This is freaking annoying, almost anytime your mouse path happens to cross a window boundary, the mouse stops whether you intended to or not. This took me forever to figure out how to disable (admittedly because I was being dumb)
