793791 2009-07-26 10:25:00 PSR also can double as another function.

Lets say you want to create a turtural for something, and show step by Step instructions - Press that then that. It makes a screen shot, high lights the area you need to press.

Load it into any Web page design software - edit out the "Problem Step ?" along with any other text not wanted - Easy.

The Snipping Tool is also highly useful!!

793793 2009-07-26 10:51:00 I'm almost thinking along the lines that Vista was put out, unfinished on purpose, with the aim of making a better OS (W7) so it would sell to replace the Doggy Vista = more $$$$$$$ for M$ :rolleyes:

They've caused quite a bit of damage to their brand though as a result of Vista's bad reputation, as well as the whole "Vista Capable" debacle.

793794 2009-07-31 09:39:00 After playing with the thing for a few days, it is a brilliant MS effort . Probably a fail for any other OS flavour, but it mostly works on everything I have thrown at it - even an M$ product (FS2002) So far it is working with such things as Windows Commander, System Mechanic (a 2002 version) and a rather elderly version of Open Office (Why waste a modern version on Winderz?)
The biggest problem is the enhanced "games' that MS threw out and put in there . Minesweeper must be a classic "It worked, so we fixed it" example . Sales Dept . I suppose . . .

Of vital importance, Draft Choice for Windows works better than it did in XP . I will probably buy it when it comes on sale for it's behaviour with Draft Choice and FMS (Also better than XP) .

VLC took care of the Multimedia thing, so it is a keeper . (Provided they don't "fix it" into oblivion when marketing gets at it . )

Did they make Vista just to show that ME wasn't a fluke and they have still got their skills ready? ;)
