I don't like WMP 12 though, i preferred 11. The lack of menu bar is disturbing.. (just feels unnatural having a "separate" interface for playing and library. And WHY are there still no decent visualisations?? This baffles me that windows is all slick and so forth, fancy transparent windows, funky desktop effects.. but the visualisations in media player is still the crap they shipped 98 with. At least Apple have the good sense to make new ones - sort it out Balmer! It's almost depressing having a pixellated graphic when everything else looks so good.
That said, it feels great - i've upgraded from XP to see what it's like and i'm pretty impressed so far. Firefox and Thunderbird both imported app data seamlessly, live apps work as they should. Games are also running ok
Just got to figure out how to get dreamscape type stuff working..
The window features are impressive though, not sure if this was in Vista (having never used it!), but dragging a window to the top to maximise seems very intuitive - if not really saving much time. As is the handy drag to the side to fill up half the screen. Certainly removes the problem of accidentally closing a window you meant to maximise!
The taskbar is pretty cool, not as annoying as i thought it would be, certainly. Jump-lists work nicely, very convenient for some applications!
All my peripherals installed automatically without much hassle, my printer worked straight away (canon) and i assume my MS webcam will work too.
