Wow
I can't believe that Microsoft Vista, even at it's release, has many bugs. Even though the features-- nice start logo, great sidebar, cool effects, nice IE 7, awesome Windows Media Player, improved Policies, a start search, indexing,(do you want me to name them all) ReadyBoost, new & improved bootscreen, Microsoft Aero(I think Windows Aero), and many more--are very great, I recently faced many bugs:(Note that these bugs are in Windows Vista)

1. Some programs I can't access from the Start Menu(favorite programs) & Quick Lauch. Some of these programs are MS Word, SmartFTP Client, and more.
   
2. IE displays a problem when I close it, even though there seems no problem at all!(look at my other topic)
   
3. The administrator does not appear at all in Safe Mode! I don't know about your opinions but since it says in the Local Security Policy that regardless of a setting in here, the administrator should be in Safe Mode, but it's not!
   
4. I don't think this is a bug though, but some programs have compatibility issues, including Nero(I hope the company now has the Vista version of this) that compatibility settings wouldn't help at all!
   
5. Some installations says that they have problems in installing even though there seems no problem at all.

I think that is it!(Be sure to tell me other bugs)
Oh, I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate.(cool!!!)

Now I not Windows Seven, also known as Vienna, is coming. (I really hope it's on next year) I soon hope that these bugs will be repaired in this version.

2. 100 Reasons To Use Windows Vista - No, really?? (13)

   Recently, I have received an "Exploring Windows" email from Microsoft, which led me to an
   interesting link called 100 Reasons You'll be speechless. Thought it was related to Windows
   Vista, and it was. Here are some of my opinions: 1. It makes using your PC a breeze, if Windows is
   responding most of the time. Also, many users have complained about User Account Control, which say
   that it makes using the PC not a breeze. I haven't tried it yet, but from others' point of
   view, it seems to be intrusive and annoying. 2. Your music may be a click away from your re...

3. User Account Control - (13)

   I'm sure most of you know about Windows Vista's User Account Control. I was wondering if
   there were any registry settings or anything that I could modify to force the UAC prompt to appear
   when doing these tasks: Clicking the Start button Opening any folder Launching any application
   Adjusting personalization settings Opening a new page in Internet Explorer (by that I mean typing
   in a URL, from Favourites or by clicking a link) Turning off, sleep or restarting the computer
   Modifying the Windows Sidebar Opening any file (mp3, document, anything) There's...

4. Problems Installing Vista - (14)

   I just got a hold of Vista from my friend. He downloaded it from the Microsoft site and burned it on
   a DVD for me. Since I just installed VMware recently, I wanted to give Vista a try. So far it's
   only been giving me headaches. I've been getting all kinds of errors...most likely related to
   the amount of disk space I allocated for the install or the memory assigned. Well, I gave it all I
   got today. I set VMware to give it 15GB of hard drive space and 512MB of memory. It seems to work.
   Got up to the copying files and after a short file it gave me an error code 800...

5. How Can I Make Xp User Autologin ? - I know how to make the Administrator user automatically log in in Wind (6)

   I would like my system to automatically log the user Administrator at power-up or at system reboot.
   And I don't want to remove the Administrator user password. I knew how to do this with Windows
   2000 : in the command prompt, type "control userpasswords" and you see the user admin pannel coming
   up, you uncheck "user must provide a password", the system asks you the default user passwords and
   then you don't need to give the password again at each boot. How do you perform this under
   Windows XP ? I would not like to directly edit the registry settings, I would like t...

11. Messed Up My Boot.ini File With Vista... - How can i fix it? (13)

    I wanted to install Vista without getting rid of my XP installation, so I left Xp on my C drive, and
    installed Vista on another physical disk. I started running into problems with the dual booting when
    i would switch from one OS to the next, and after a while Xp would start hanging on boot, and only
    after several cold reboots would it load properly. So i was planning on uninstalling Vista, but the
    hard drive i had it on got formatted by a friend of mine who thought he was doing me a favor. Now
    when i switch on the computer i get the OS choice menu, typical Vista pre-sele...

    I am aware that when Vista was first released it was full of bugs and was very nonsupporting for
    Drivers. I was wondering if it has been fixed up at all by this time since it has been out for quite
    a while now. Also, which Operating System is better for gaming at this time, Windows Vista or XP? A
    final question I have is that of the worthiness of Vista, is it worth it to buy the Ultimate

    gonna stay bigger than XP. We have to make sure it doesn't get bigger still." However, Ballmer
    went on to admit that it had taken too long to get Vista out the door and admitted it had caused

23. [trick] Installing Xp Last And Still Dual Boot - For Windows Vista (0)

    QUOTE This was a tough one, but I managed to prove my theory that XP can be installed last and

    solving this puzzle) so I could add XP after the Vista install without any traces of it left from
