I hate Vista

So, being the awesome husband that I am, I bought for my lovely bride a laptop so that she may poot wirelessly around the house. I got an HP tx1302us (for $299 thanks to being one of 1000 people offered the deal on Black Friday). I got a 4g kit to make it usable. Now, on to what I hate.

User Access Control: If ever there were a more annoying "security" feature, the TSA must have it in their training materials. It prompted me FIVE TIMES while installing iTunes. WTF? Needless to say, it was the first thing to go.

The Wizards: Oh Dear God, how I hate these. Go ahead and try to connect to a WAP that isn't broadcasting its SSID. I spent 2 ours trying to figure this out. And it wasn't until all the OS updates were installed and rebooted that the options I needed were present. Of course, if it were as simple as it is in XP, I'd have been happy and done in 2 minutes. When will MS learn that not every user is a moron and that they should let some of us opt-out of the hand-holding? They managed to make most tasks more difficult. Incredible for most, but par for the course for them.

I will say, I like the icons for alt-tab. See, I'm not all hate.
