Occasional Observations

Helping a colleague log-on to a Windows XP machine for the first time – and work through all those niggly issues that I’d forgotten with Vista made me wonder if I’ve been a bit harsh. Thing is, it seems that neither is perfect … the Vista guys have worked hard to counter many of those XP annoyances that I’d oh-so-quickly forgotten … country keyboard settings, multiple language installations, administrator rights required to do mutt stuff like change the system time. Therefore, by the time we get to Vista SP2 it should be pretty good.
