You should definitely try using the search boxes in the Start Menu and Control Panel more often. I use them all the time, and they're huge time-savers.I'm getting lost in the control panel... can never remember that ADD/REMOVE programs has changed to something else.
Also, I prefer the traditional start menu where a new menu pops out when you hit a folder.
I thought the COM Surrogate errors were related to incompatibilities between Nero and Vista. Could that be the reason?Motion Desktop seems to be wowing people, I mean DreamScene.
As I am not under NDA but do have a copy -- that damn racoon is driving me nuts now, seems to crash the com surrogate (whatever the hell that is) when I try browisng my motion desktops.
Oh and great gadget Netz, might inspire me to reinstall the client

And glad you like the gadget. You should definitely start folding again.
To follow up on this a little, it really does rock the house! I dig the fact that you can now export results into XML files. Also just as sexy, you can centralize error reporting from multiple PCs to one - will be more useful when I upgrade some of my locations. The subscription is also nice, where you can almost RSS subscribe (not RSS, but similar) to other PCs based on time intervals, with custom filtering/reporting.I am rather fond of the new and improved Event Viewer. I'll post some screenshots and more details when I return home next week, as my work laptop doesn't yet have "the pleasure" of running Vista.
Rubbish!
You mean like how you love HL2 and COD2?When I see people use words like sexy and love when they talk about a bunch of 1's and 0's makes me wonder sometimes :lick:

Previous Versions
The Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista include a useful innovation to help you protect your data: Shadow Copy. This feature automatically creates point-in-time copies of files as you work, so you can quickly and easily retrieve versions of a document you may have accidentally deleted.
Nice ones, chief and Khay! Keep 'em coming.
Network Profiles:
This is a great feature for fellow mobile users who regularly switch between different wired/wireless networks. For each network, Vista saves your configuration settings (DHCP/Static IP, DNS servers, etc.) and restores them automatically when you connect to the same network again.
When you first define a network profile, you also specify whether it's a Public or Private network (see screenshot). File/printer sharing automatically gets turned off when you connect to a Private network, and gets re-enabled when you connect to a Public one. This means that you no longer have to disable all your file shares before you connect to that wireless network at the cafe or airport, and turn them all back on manually when you come back home. Windows Firewall in Vista is also profile-aware, so applications that are allowed to pass through the firewall on a Private network are not automatically granted access on a new Public network.
A very handy feature that makes working with multiple networks less of a chore.
The reliability monitor. I found out about it from Paul Thurott's SuperSite, so i'll leave the explanation to him, needless to say its excellent addition to windows
