List of Windows Vista's characteristics

This is a small and incomplete list of what I like and what I don't like about Windows Vista, things that I had to deal with, but there are more "+"s and/or "-"s for sure (I'll add them as I found them or as I remeber them) and I didn't mention the driver and software incompatibility problems because it's not a final release. I'll also add some screen shots of the most interesting points. An interesting list of bad things about Windows Vista you can find here.

+nice flip 3D windows feature
+by pressing alt+tab now you can also see live the opened windows
+or by moving the mouse over the button of any application in taskbar
+well implemented search feature, it searches while you type and search boxes are handy because they are almost everywhere
+nice sleek and glossy design
+useful sidebar with gadgets
+a worth mentioning tool - Snipping Tool, you can easily take a screen shot of the whole screen or a certain area
+sleep and lock computer features now can be easily accessed from the start button
+more functionality added everywhere, now you can easily chose the size of the icons of any window by moving up and the down a little bar, you can see the size, the free space and a little horizontal bar representing the occupied and empty space of each item in Computer (old name "My Computer")
+they removed the very annoying up and down feature in the search box
+you can control the volume of each application
+now the sound record lets you record as much as you want on one track
+it's easier to select an icon, when you hover over an icon a transparent square shows up

-to shutdown the computer you have to click the same number of times but it's a small button that lets you do that and the shutdown button has been replaced with the sleep button which saves your session and puts the computer in a low-power state so that you can quickly resume working; I think many people consider it useless because they always shut it down and as I do they might wish a easier and fastest way to shutdown the computer.
-there's no maximize or minimize effect, only when minimized from or to taskbar.
-the nice glow effect when clicking on the user picture at the login screen is not there anymore unlike the previous builds
-no xp theme
-speech recognition needs improvement
-sidebar needs more gadgets (As the community will grow up I think there will be more gadgets)
-there's no menu bar in windows
