Rofl, waiting for M$ to coming out with a un-BUGGY version will be like waiting for money to drop from the sky

Pros of vista
Beautiful eye catching design (providing u have a GC that support PS2.0)
Better security
Programs (IE7, Bitlocker(ultimate), dreamscene(ultimate), WMP11, Media Center(home premium and above)

Cons of vista
less compatible with a lot program
memory eating

Pros of WinXP
more compatible with current program
less memory consuming
can upgrade to vista look (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/424533 (credits to J-Slade))

Cons of WinXP
Fugly (unless u upgrade to vista look)
less secure

thats all i can think of

Guys, got a question. I check that my display adapter in Device Manager are dated on 1 June 2006. When i update it, it shows that i already have the best and latest edition. But when i check Intel website, they have a new one release on 26 Feb 2007. Do i need to download the exe from Intel or it's just the same to update driver in Device Manager?


IMO, if u have no problem with the current driver, why waste ur time updating it?

Find files and folders on other computers on a network

The Network folder provides handy access to the computers on your network. From there, you can see the contents of network computers and find shared files and folders.

Click to open Network.

You should see all the computers and devices that are on your network. If you don't see computers that you expect to see, the network discovery setting on your computer or another computer might be blocking access. For more information, see What is network discovery?

If other computers on your network are running Windows XP and you don't see them in the Network folder, you might need to change the workgroup name on those computers. For more information, see Troubleshoot problems finding computers on a home network.

Double-click a computer's icon to see the files and folders that you have access to.

Notes
If your user name and password for the computer you are currently logged on to are different from those for the computer that you are trying to access, you might be prompted to enter your logon information. You can automatically connect to another computer on the network by storing your password. For more information, see Store passwords for automatic logon.

If the other computer is set up to allow access to anyone on the network, you will be automatically connected to it but you will only have guest access. This means that you will only have access to files in the Public folder. You can automatically connect to another computer on the network by storing your password.

To find files on a mapped drive
A mapped drive is a shared folder or computer on a network that you create a shortcut to on your computer. Each mapped drive has a drive letter (such as D) assigned to it.

Click to open Computer.

All mapped drives are listed under Network Location.

Double-click the mapped drive's icon to see the files and folders that you have access to.
to open network, just go computer and look at the box besides it, theres a network icon there

Thinking of getting a new Notebook with vista preloaded.

The problem is, no matter wad brand, Sony, HP, Compaq, Toshiba or bla bla i try so far, they run damn slow on preloaded Vista even the spec is C2C 1.66Ghz with 1Gb ram. The windows boot up and shut down is slow like snail even my p4 HT with XP can beat it kau kau one.. So actually wad wrong with those notebook preloaded Vista?

space in ur HDD plays an important factor also, the more junk, the more slower ur comp is

Heck no.. even with 768mb of ram P4 3ghz, i would say Vista is acceptable already, 1GB is optimum, and 2GB is too much
