1. If you go to install a new application and it doesn't work as expected, find the executable in the file structure, right mouse click to bring up properties, select the compatibility tab and configure it accordingly.
2. You may want to adjust/turn off UAC. Open up the Constrol Panel, select User Accounts, User Accounts, then look for the option to turn UAC off or on. If yo want UAC for some acounts but not others, you have to modify the local security policy. Smoke me and I'll step you through it.
3. In Vista, your favorites are associated with your user directory. When you open the menu, you'll notice at the top of the right-hand column your user account name. Click on that and you'll notice a complete file structure specific to that user. This is more or less the same as what you saw in XP under "Documents & Settings". You can drop all of your favorites in there just fine.
4. You can use IE or Fierfox with StumbleUpon in Vista. I'd suggest doing a clean install of either, then logging back in.
5. Think for yourself. If you buy into the FUD, and believe you are going to have a bad experience with Vista, you probably wil. I run it on 9 computers here at the house without any problems. It has features that are built into the Home Premium and Ultimate Edition that are fabulous for the home user (parental controls).
