<description><![CDATA[When people complain about the redesigned user interface in Windows Vista, the poster child for the    it   s too complicated    crowd is the Network and Sharing Center. And when you probe for more specifics, the complaint usually boils down to this, as expressed by Jason Hiner at TechRepublic: Vista has clearly attempted to follow Apple   s footsteps by making Windows more intuitive for [the] novice user. However, unlike OS X, Windows has done so at the price of slowing down power users because it now often takes more clicks to do average tasks than it did in previous versions of Windows. For example, clicking into the properties page for a network interface takes 1-2 clicks in Windows XP and 5-6 clicks in Windows ... ]]>

<description><![CDATA[Today   s tip is in response to a reader question:  When Vista is booting it displays the welcome screen and requires me to click on the icon with my name on it before it will continue to boot.

The procedure for automatically logging on to a default user account is essentially the same in Vista as it is in XP. First, the obligatory caveats and warnings:    Don   t do this if your system contains confidential data and is physically insecure. It   s a very bad idea to enable auto-logon on a notebook, for instance, because anyone who walks ... ]]>

<description><![CDATA[Have you experienced any of these problems with Windows Vista? After opening a large number of programs and windows, you try to launch a new program or open a new browser tab or even switch back to an already running program and instead:     You get a strange    out of memory    message, despite the fact that you   re using only a fraction of the RAM installed on your system.   The window opens but its contents refuse to load.   The window opens, but menus are missing, dialog boxes are empty, or buttons don   t work.    In my case, I experienced this problem regularly on multiple Vista systems when I opened Outlook 2007, Forte Agent, Adobe Acrobat (editing three or four large documents), BlogJet, Windows Live Writer, Word (working ... ]]>
