In spite of it's many drawbacks (such as being a resource hog), there are a few neat features available on Vista that no other browser can match. I've had Vista over a year and just found out about a feature that I'll be using often in the future. It's called a 'snipping tool' and allows you to capture a screenshot or portion thereof quickly and easily. It also makes it very easy to save images from sites where they have disabled your right-click menu. :/:

Here's the Windows page explaining it, or just google 'snipping tool'.

is it similiar to the printscreen function on XP? I use it once in again to thwart the disabled right click... :shifty:

It's much faster and easier than printscreen, then paste into paint and crop. You simply highlight what you want and then 'save as'. 8)
 
You can beat the disabled right click most times by turning off javascript... but then you have to turn it back on again.
 
Our comp with Vista doesn't look like Eric's, although I guess he went to the "classic" view.

We've got the snipping tool.
 
I saved an original Windows disk and documentation set. Good ole 5-1/4" diskettes. No Vista though, XP. I know for a fact I burned all my Win98 disks just to watch'em wrinkle up and die slowly.
 
WE are all XP pro here and won't go to vista. Now cousin Russell is a Vista and MS 'ho... LMAO... But then he does web sites and software for a profession and has to use it ;)
 
I have Vista home basic on this one, Xp on the other laptop, and Linux on the desktop.
