Vista

One of the things that bothers me most about the new operating system is the lack of certain options. While Vista provides drivers for almost everything under the sun, it has its problems. Trackpads, for example, automatically have the "tap to click" feature enabled. This is fine unless you are on a laptop where a simple brush with the pad clicks in unwanted instances. 'Fine' you say, If you dont like it, just turn it off; this is where the problem lies. In typical MS fashion, there is no way to turn it off. Consequently, I've had some problems with a few premature email-ulaitons. I sent an email this morning in an erronious tap-to-click scenario before it was finished (missing a link guys?)
Its not all bad, it starts faster than XP (i didnt think that was possible) and it seems feature complete. Besides the bugs are nothing compared to other products I've had the misfortune of purchasing (I'm looking at you Battlefield 2142).
