You should be able to get it look like XP, that's normally available in Windows (the ability to make it look like an older version)

You can turn off all of the prettiness, revert the start menu back to classic and change the folder views back too. My other install of Vista looks a lot like XP.

My one complaint is that Vista has dropped to the level of all those computer tards out there who barely know how to turn it on. They've reorganized stuff so that it looks neater to PC newbs, but I prefer the XP organizaion system- just straightforward folders and files.

Again, you can turn all of this off. Virtual folders aren't an issue - its just the same in UNIX.

It seems to get pissy when you network via wires.

It has few options for wired connections to both the internet and other networks...

Then it's system of "Virtual" folders piss me off because some share the name with real folders. Fancy series of shortcuts that are entirely oversimplified for jackasses.

It seems like they've dumbed down too much. Not alot is different on the performance end from XP. Besides the obvious memory drains and new graphics...

I have wired connections and all is fine. The new network view seems a bit pointless however if you go into Network Connections the old options are there.

Again, I use the UNIX argument here- Ive used symbolic links for a long long time and it's just a different way of thinking that's all.

I installed Vista when it first came out (Ultimate edition) - this did seem to make a larger demand on my graphics card (an ATI 9800XT). I have just installed the Business Edition and all is well - even with all of the prettiness turned on.

In general I'm happy with Vista (I wasnt when it first came out). Im getting better transfer speeds across the net (I have no idea how that has happened) and so far everything is stable. The drivers for my hardware seem to have made everything a bit more responsive and I even get better frame rates in ren.
