3 quick reasons why I love Vista

Here we go:
  1. Pre-calculated file copies: If you're copying files to a CD, DVD, flash drive, etc. Vista calculates the size of your copy and makes sure there is enough space before it begins to copy (remembered this after upgrading the last of my XP computers at work).
  2. Subdirectory searching for drivers: Download some drivers for something and don't feel like figuring out the exact directory (or can't)?  When you tell Vista to search for drivers locally it can search subdirectories saving lots of time and hassle.
  3. Clickable Folder Path: In Windows Explorer the directory path is clickable allowing you to go down a folder or back a few very quickly (see "Solution 1" here).  I'm pretty sure this is a feature of many Linux file explorers but I won't go into that now. :)
