Now I know many have not made the switch to Vista willingly some are still holding out but after spending nearly a 2 years using Vista I have to say "I'm a PC and I love Vista". I was hoping to uncover some hidden features or bring to light some feature I may not have used yet. To date these are my favorite features: Start Menu Desktop search [/b][/b]& run- I can search my programs & files without rifling through folders (I know desktop search has been around awhile) additionally I can run cmd.exe, msconfig, regedit and many other commands from the same line this is a real time saver. DVD MAKER this works great have made many dvd slideshows, home movies wiht fun transfers, fx, titles but most of all the picture quality is super. I have even used to to convert some mpeg & divx files and can be configured to 16x9. Games: the visual enhancements and new games are kinda fun I get sick playing InkBall and having Mahjongg a fave of mine is great, the Game tab on the start menu is awesome and helps me organize my real games like Crysis, DungeonSeige and more all in one place for easy access without burdening the desktop with loads of shortcuts....Now tell me some of your favorites.
