I’ve installed Vista…again. The first time around, I downright hated it. I like having matters in my own hands, so network configuration annoys me to no end, along with the fact that because the "welcome screen" can’t be turned off into the good old logon screen, which disables adversaries from finding all user accounts.

Guess what! I STILL hate it. It still has the same network discovery nonsense (I’m at "network place 23" by now), I still can’t turn off the welcome screen, the virtual machine blew up and Nessus still finds holes and the UAC still whines about everything and it still has trouble with drivers (try making WMP use a different driver than DirectSound)! I have bought a new laptop a while ago and threw Vista off the minute it came in and installed my good ol’ XP Pro. I’ve seen some of the promo’s for Windows 7 (Vienna), but I’m not convinced yet. But as the saying goes: Don’t talk trash about stuff you haven’t tried yet. So I’m waiting for Windows 7 to turn "gold", try it out and make a fair decision. However, I suspect that most experts will say the same thing as they did with XP and Vista: Wait until SP1 before even considering to change.
