I Am Vista-Challenged

Though I consider myself somewhat of a nerd, I usually lag behind on adopting the latest gadgets and gizmos. Besides my belief that 1st generation anything is buggy and unstable, I also lack the disposable income that is needed to constantly upgrade.

One of my most recent toys is Windows Vista. I’ve played around with it for about 2 months now but still find certain aspects extremely confusing if not annoying:

  1. Why is it so hard to find the Command Prompt?
  2. What happened to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer from XP?
  3. Without a fancy new video card, most of the Vista effects don’t exist…so basically I’ve ended up with a more expensive version of XP.

Luckily for me, Vista has been around for awhile and it’s not hard to Google for the solution of most issues that I run into. But why should I have to do that?

If there is something super special about vista that I’m missing, please let me in on the secret. As of now I’m not a big fan.
