I was too bored with melayan tetamu that I finally tried to test every available new features in Vista yesterday and today. Anyways these are the best thing I think Vista has to offer

Indexing Service
Forgot all those other Desktop Search crap. THIS IS THE REAL THING! I love how it's fully intergrated with the start menu. Quite fast too. It took me just 4 hours to index 80GB + 250GB + 60GB + 320GB of HDD. and all of them are nearly 85% full. Just remember don't ever index you pr0n or Hentai folder tongue.gif
It also is situated on the top right hand corner of your explorer windows, thus making searchng file really fast as you can search for files in the index for that particular folder only.

Snipping Tool
want to make a screenshot, but don't want to take the whole screen? Snipping tool is for you. it will let you select the area of the place you want to take screenshot. you can then either edit, copy to clipboard or save it as JPEG!

Windows Sidebar
It's not the widget of the sidebar that I like, but the fact that it uses simple XML to make the widgest suggest that Microsoft might release a tutorial on how to make your own!!

Internet Explorer 7
Faster than FF (2), more stable than IE6, and looks cool. What more can I say?

Taskbar Preview
Taskbar preview itself is good, but what about the fact that it will show animation if the program is working. thus you can easily check if you son's minimised WMP is playing pr0n

New Address Bar in Explorer
At first I was suprised that they are no 'Up one level button' anymore, but after mistakingly clicking on the arrow in fron of every folder name, I found out why. This is a quite good and initiative way to navigate throught the PC

Intergrated Windows Explorer with folder view
If you notice, there is a folder view for each Explorer Windows. Just click an the 'Folder' button on the left hand bottom corner.

HDD indicator
now you can easily tell if a HDD is nearing the full capacity

weird, I never seem to encounter that. The last time I see that error was a failed XP on my sis's PC because the motherboard IDE connection is failing and it cannot detect IDE hardware properly

Vista have included the default drivers for
