67 more windows vista mistakes

Posted: 05-29-2006, 04:18 PM
Hello!

63. In Windows Explorer Views, I should never see a horizontal scrollbar. Instead, you should follow Outlook's lead (!) and
automatically push the information together into a single chunk rather than force me to look to the right or left to get to the
information I've asked to see. And don't tell me to maximize the window - that's a cop out, and you know it.

64. Who decided that the progress bar would be green? Why isn't that themable? I'd assume it's a graphic - and if not, then why can't
I make it some other color?

65. Whoa. The Windows Easy Transfer dialog to warn you that the firewall is blocking the program from running appears to have fallen
out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on its way down. You look at it and tell me why I'd even say such a thing. Seems that
other Yes/No dialogs have fallen out of the same tree in this tool as well.

66. Why is the Favorites folder icon the only folder icon that doesn't have a folder icon in it? It's just this gigantic star. I
think it's fine that way, but if you're not going to have a folder image in the Favorites folder icon, then get rid of the other
special folders' folder icons.

67. Where's the "Export all possible Windows settings" feature? I think it's supposed to be there for documents, emails, photos,
etc. - but what about my generic windows settings?
