[BC] Vista Vs. XP Vs. Win2k

[Jason Houts]

I have had Vista Business edition on my new Lenovo since August 2007
(installed from the factory).  I disabled UAC and set the menu bar to
"classic" in properties.  I did this strait out of the box and it saved time
by not having to "learn" the menu structure and confirm that "I am sure"
every time I navigate around the OS.  Vista works well in my mobile
environment and I utilize all the tools I did with XP (and more).  Although
I have no complaints about vista, I would not feel comfortable inserting the
OS into my network user environment just yet.    

Vista Users:

Menus
Goto Menu>properties>start menu > classic mode

Disable UAC
Goto Run>msconfig>tools>disable UAC >restart


Strait out of the box, seeing Vista, with the new menu, and the constant
nagging of "are you sure?" Vista becomes annoying.  Events like that can
make a user unhappy. I think that situation gets Vista off to a "bad start"
with any user. 

With the "tweaks" I made, I have been able to have a productive work
experience, as I did with XP.
