>Tweak it out
That is part of the whole problem with Vista.
So many people are running into trouble because they're disabling and changing things they have no idea how it worked in XP much less Vista. Sometimes the "tweak" doesn't even work in Vista (and I see some "guides" even giving out tweaks from the 9x era).
And then after all these "tweaks" the system starts behaving weird, the user then goes to their favorite message board and posts that Vista is a POS.
After you kill Ryan, if you walk around the back partition you'll find that his Vita-Chamber was switched off.
A man chooses, a slave obeys. Make no mistake, Ryan chose his death.
Surf and Waterfall, despite being HM moves are legitimate moves for battle as well.
Waterfall is a physical water attack with decent power and is a great match on a Gyarados since it gets STAB and is a physical heavy pokemon.
Surf is simply the best special water move because of it's high damage and accuracy (moves like Hydropump are not reliable enough).
25 minutes to install Vista (from the first bootup to the point where the Sidebar finally fully loads). 15 seconds change the colour scheme to black. Then whatever time it takes to install the apps that I use. 10 more minutes to adjust Explorer settings.
Or 25 minutes to load the image I've made =)
Vista's memory footprint is enormous. The 512MB minimum is there for good reason.
I question the limits you mentioned for Win2k and WinXP though.
WinXP can be stuffed under 96MB easily. Win2k can be stuffed under 64MB and probably even 32MB. (all assuming no other programs running yet of course).
Likewise there's something similar in Vista. (Top right is always a search box).
Of course, if you know the item you want to start, you can could press Windows=>"item"
MS did try to organize everything a bit. But everyone (including myself) tends to immediately switch back to the Classic Look for the Control Panel (and for good reason I say).
I've noted that in the recent years, calculators have started to be disallowed in more and more courses where they used to be allowed at UBC (University of British Columbia, Canada). I presume a similar thing may be happening at some other universities.

Looks like parameters work just fine. And if you're really such a "power user" it takes about 2 seconds to add the run command back in. Or you can use Windows+r
If the kernel cannot be patched normally outside of a hypervisor sense (where it'd be impossible to detect anyways) then rootkits wouldn't be there.
And it's not like Norton or Mcafee can detect rootkits anyways.
Well, it's still there as an optional component if you use it. It's just not installed by default it seems.
But my guess is MS feels like squashing intercompatibility.
1) Nope. The old lock system is still there. Irritating. You'd think they'd at least incorporate something into UAC to allow for closing all handles.
2) Theoretically yes. Vista will automatically schedule and defrag itself. A step up from just not telling you about it like on some platforms.
3) And get slammed with even more anti-trust suits? I thought we _didn't_ want to do stuff like that. And we all know there's no way MS would do that for non-Microsoft partners.
4) Even XP had that. However, it's a Microsoft Powertoy (figures). I don't see a built-in option in Vista either (blegh).
Right now I'm running RC2 and the firewire controller on my Asus A8N-VM is right there in the device manager. However, Microsoft has removed the firewire networking that nobody used.

It's more than merely copying 16k files. It's copying 16k files with file streams.
Normally, you'd be hard-pressed to find that many files on the entire system that have file streams.
The issue was exasperated by Kaspersky Antivirus because it writes something into the file stream of every file it scans.
So it's definitely a silly bug in Vista, but it's not nearly as big as it's made out to be.

That update indeed only applies if WU is enabled in some way. If set to "Don't Update" it won't update.
Considering there's a Tab that says Mailing right there on the screen all the time, I'd say it's easier to find than in 2003.

It seems good.
The kind of patent royalties that Microsoft is promising not to charge is the problem with JPEG2000

Erm, the point of those dialogs is that it would catch your attention such that you'll pause and READ THE ERROR MESSAGE.
As such, they are designed correctly since the object to AVOID a reflex click.

Raptors can easily give you 48mb/s much less really nice drives like SAS drive. And this is before factoring in RAID.
I don't how this would've been an issue in the days of DOS, much less with modern operating systems.

So I start a shutdown of my computer. Rather silly nitpick anyways.
There's a good reason for the sound stutter. MS removed hardware accelerated sound for some stupid reason.
Anyways, it could possibly be a driver issue, but we'll see.
You should do your homeword; the memory tester in Vista is like that too. The system reboots to do the memory test.
Because it isn't. I can't believe people are literally lying through their teeth about that.

DX9 in Vista is handled by DX9L which translates all the DX9 calls to DX10 calls. Basically, DX10 doesn't run the old code directly.

You can slipstream service packs into the Windows CD.
2 _slipstream.asp shows you how.
