| different? If you had designed the look of Vista would you have done anything different? I mean most of us have tried the beta by now so what are your likes/dislikes of Vista's looks? |

| Hi! Changes... Hmmmm... Although i personally think Vista's interface looks great, I'd replace the start menu orb with a black start menu button similar to the one used in XP (except that it would be black, not green.)  |

| The orb grows on you, now I think the Start button was ugly (I especially like putting a window just behind it so its only obscured by the curve!  (I'm a bit wierd like that  I would have liked to have seen some desktop features coded into binary eg:// gadgets!!  There are certain things that you just want to run FAST! I would also have liked to see a basic physics engine for the manipulation of windows like xgl/beryl in linux. Oh, and multiple virtual desktops!!! One desktop isn't enough  Mostly though, I think it it fantastic and will jsut get better! crabby |

| Nope, I'm saying that I am happy with it the way it is and don't have anyway overwhelming desire to change anything. It suits my workstyle pretty much perfectly, but, then, so did XP.

| I would have included antivirus protection, though I understand the reasoning for not doing so (lawyers). Change the defrag interface to Win XP similarity. Add a spell checker to Wordpad. Place the word Start on the start menu button.

| It has been too long for me to remember, about five years. Can't remember if it was any different than Win XP.

| I think it looks great, but one little thing is the maximized window, were you get that odd looking black bar. Apart from that nothing
