- ssl-3 1mo agoWhen Windows Vista got released, I bought a retail copy (from a real store!) to install on my daily-use XP laptop. I'd heard that it was a very different way of doing things, and because I was doing some freelance computer support around that time I felt I should spend some quality time using and understanding it. It seemed better than Windows XP in just about every way. Other than an absolute fight getting a driver installed for a Prolific USB to serial adapter (PL2303, maybe?) that had previously been working well, I didn't really experience any issues.
- jve 1mo agoWorking as an admin, multiple times I thought - hey, the hated Vista actually introduced this under the hood - something normal people don't see. Some task scheduling and event subscription features I think were from there that I liked. Firewall, BitLocker, WinRE I asked GPT to list features introduced within vista... boy are there TON of stuff that got changed under the hood.
