Ok, so I just upgraded to Vista and have been poking around it some...It looks pretty cool and has a lot of features for me to try out, but I wanted to ask you guys what I should looking for. Do you have any tips for getting the most out of Vista? Any good articles I should read? What do you like most about Vista...because it could very well be something I haven't seen yet.

| Your lucky to have things actually work. When I got my new PC it came with Vista installed, but apparently vista doesn't support pretty much every bit of hardware I have. XD That's just the thing, there's not much of anything for vista right now | ||||

| well, don't play any games, and you will probably do well. Vista has good features yes. But it is rubbish for stability and gaming. But. On topic. I did once search for stuff on Vista, I couldn't find any articles.

| I'm playing games and working fine. Don't blame vista for hardware vendors not releasing good drivers. As for things, one of my favorite features is windows key + tab. Also there are all kinds of cool sidebar gadgets you can get from: http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/v...aspx?mkt=en-us . Further alot of the features and nice things about vista are under the skin. Not so much of a "you can get or try out". Just try using your pc. The more u use the pc, the more you will notice it speeds up. The reason being is that it cache's your most commonly used files/applications in memory so they open faster.

| I haven't used alot of them yet, But I'm using a rss reader and the clock. The clock is a life saver for me since I so easily lose track of time and hide my taskbar.
