Vista: Lost in the fog
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Moving to Microsoft Vista reminds me of Medford, Or. I’ll need to explain that one.
I moved from Little Rock to Medford back in the early 80s. Even though Medford is small, I am navigationally challenged and that meant every trip to a new store or office took twice as long as it should have.
But the capper came one Christmas Eve, early in my time there. A heavy fog moved in - I’m talking fog like I’ve never seen before - and I remember calling home and saying that I might not be able to find my way back.
For the most part, moving to Vista has been like Medford without the fog - it takes me longer to find some of the features that I used with Windows XP. But, since Vista also has some new tools, there are times when the fog really rolls in and I feel completely lost.
That’s why - if you’ve moved to Vista - this article from PC Magazine may help. It will talk about some of the tools available in Vista and ways to use them. It’ll help clear the fog - although, like me, you may still get lost at times.
