I am very impressed with Vista's new Networking Center, however i think that
it is disgusting that i cannot check the status of my network connection
without going through a whole load of menus.

For example, I wish to check the speed and IP address of my Wireless
Network, I have to;
Right click on the icon, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network
Connections and find it in the list.

I believe XP's "double click" was much better and easier. However I am
impressed with Vista Home Premiums hover menu's which appear. I think that
the Manage Network Connections should be linked off the icon itself.

i'm with ya on that!

another rediculous thing, is the new backup system...nice and easy...but
seems rather "not finished"??? NTBACKUP had more control..but yet not as
EASY and dummy proof. but seems u can set it up to do DAILY backups until
the drive fills up???? can't find anywhere to have it run 6 days a week,
then do a complete backup on 1 day and start over fresh and do away with the
previous 6????

that way u have 6 daily incremental backups (and 1 new complete each week)
at any time per year instead of 365 backup folders (ETC!) a year on the drive?
