Vista

So, I've been playing around with Vista a bit. It is visually improved over WinXP with a user interface like Apple OS X. It constantly prompts you to authenticate yourself or authorize an action which gets annoying when you're setting up a system.

Despite this, I've decided to use it as a base for a development environment vmware image that I'm building. Something interesting that I've found is that the defrag utility in Vista has removed all visuals and progress bars. I always liked watching these as they worked on organizing my data correctly on the disks...and now they're gone. There is no way to tell how long the procedure is going to take.
