For all the innovations, Vista is seriously lacking when it comes to the basic. I accidentally opened a zip file with 7-zip and caused the file association. Worst, there wasn't any way for me to restore the default zip association. After much research, I finally had to go and delete a regkey to restore it to default, complete with appropriate icon. I ran into a lot of complications trying to clear out my cookie folder too. With all the spying problems on the web via cookie, hiding the cookie folder is the stupidest move.
Financially speaking, let just say this is the worst month ever with one costly mistake after another. Mind you they're not junk, but to spend when I didn't need the product yet and simply because the sale person talked me into it is so foolish. I need to go out and interact with people more given how gullible I am when it comes to dealing with them, sale people in particular.
Stupid Vista

In time, it will mature as a product, but right now, there hasn't been a lot of personal incentives to upgrade.

Thank god my restore files are on a disk, it would've drove me bonkers otherwise. Restore disk is one of the absolute must have when I buy a computer. We recently got a free computer without a restore disk, and I fretted so much that I decided to restrict everything on it. Haha, it's worst than Vista constantly asking for permission to open programs, but it gives me peace of mind.
Regarding Mac, a lot of people think it has better security, but it's really no better than PC. It managed to escape the attention of hackers because of small market share. But I read news that given the recent surge in popularity, viruses targeting Mac are starting to make an appearance.
