Re: [Vista] What "Exactly" have you found "right" with Vista
I'm a proponent of 2k8 Server (Windows Vista's sibling "Server" product), to be the best desktop OS I've ever run, and I have run several (not just from MS as my NIC might imply)
2k8 Server was released with SP1 already installed (its Windows 6.0A), and MS nicely packaged all that I see as "bad" in Vista as an optional package for me - "User Desktop Experience", which, of course, I didn't install.
Vista w/SP1 may surprise a lot of you... Microsoft has released some of its *best* OS (and other) versions either as upgrades or "very next versions" of some of their worst releases:
Windown98 -> Windows98SE
MS-DOS 4 -> MS-DOS 5
..and, VS 2005 finally gave us VS6 users something to upgrade to.
2k8 Server, IMHO, runs just as fast as 2k3.
If Vista SP1 isn't the "Next 98SE", SP2 should be. Hang in there. Things will speed up.
