I've read on another forum, that Search function is missing from Start menu, or messed up.
I won't hurry to get it. That's for sure.

I thought you were out to get my Vista install...i was expecting you to recommend this highly.

Oooops...I forgot what I'm up to...hehehe

correct me if im wrong, but arnt the service packs supposed to improve the OS not bugger it up more?

[Computer Hope Admin]

Yes I'd think that's the intent. Although as I'm sure we can all recall the issues with XP and its service packs when first released.

How right, and also...don't you remember numerous instances, when M$ "fixed" things, nobody asked them to fix? They call it "improvement".

This is the thread, I was talking about:

...and...

Oh yeah, you'll all be pleased to know that the slow file copying isn't fixed either

The reason SP's bugger things is they are usually rushed to market...

[Broni]

Absolutely, but this is only one side of the coin...some people will install alphas, betas on their main computers; they will dig through torrents, PnPs, just to get it, like it's some kind of a hot cake, or must have toy, and the results are easy to predict....ComputerHope gets busy...
