What do all of you think of Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media player 11? -

I just want to know what everyone thinks of the new windows and everything like hardware requirements for Aero Glass and just the OS in general.

I dont think any computers today would be able to run more than 2 applications in Vista in full aero mode. 3 apps in quot;you got a crap graphics card so everything is greyquot; mode. I absolutely had the elevated thing, where you have to authorize windows to do every little single thing. Found out later that admin accounts are logged in as normal user accounts.. wheres the logic in that? Had to change it via local policy. IE7 looks great, and im sure it will mean firefox will need to think of something very innovative to keep its market share. WMP looks the same old. Media Center has gone totally gay. It breaks all the usability rules. My $0.02

First thing I did to fix vista when I had it was install firefox. Now it s fine. Report Abuse

IE7s 6 mile long address bar is ridiculous.

They are just new versions and obviously hardware requirement will be more than what was required by the earlier versions.

They would be great if they launched the full version.

I have tried all three and just went back to the present stuff. All of them will take a little getting used to. I have used Firefox for a long time, so IE7 isn t really that different but the beta is not useful for full time use. Vista will definitely take me some adjustment to get used to. The transparent windows, animation etc kind of gave me a headache. I am sure all those settings can be changed. I only glance at WMP 11 and one noticeable thing is the speed of loading the library songs was much faster. Again, it is different. I remember the big shift of mentality between Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, it will kind of be the same thing.

They would be a perfect combination of software when they launched.

Vista sounds nice but could care less about WMP 11 or IE 7. Im sticking with firefox. I even switched my home page from msn to Yahoo recently. I wounder If you will finally be able to record more then 60 seconds of sound with windows built-in sound recorder program. They can be so cheap.

WINDOWS IS THE MOST ******-UP O/S IN THIS UNIVERSE!!!

all these soft wares are working out very nicely and have new option. they are great.espacialy vista, the look of it is itself wind blowing
