Default the ease of networking

I've been using Vista now for 9 months and I'm loving it. I find the ease
to connect multi-computers through it. Not just computers are easy to
connect but printers. This was proved when I was in Iraq and we had one
printer and 5 Vista computer printing to it over our network, and we did
this in less than 10 mins.. Where as when I got home and tried to do the
same thing to a XP computer it took forever.

I think you're the only one finding Vista networking easier than
XP.... particularly when multiple machines are involved. Maybe if
everything is Vista peer to peer it's easier, but mixed networks are
more troublesome with Vista involved.


I've never attempted to network Vista machines to anything outside an
active directory domain environment, but with AD, it's an absolute
dream.

It literally just works.

Hi
It also depends where a user is coming from.
Many new users that did not use, or configured extensively WinXP, do find
Vista easy to get use to.
