The look is different, you have to hunt for every button.

You can't "drag & drop" files saved on your flash drive like you can do with XP.

When you bookmark an internet page you have to register for "google bookmarks" (what the heck is this???)

Give me more time, I just got the new laptop last Wednesday.

One positive thing CD RW disks don't have to be formatted in Vista.

I just got a new laptop with vista and I am hating it. Everytime I try to close my internet browser, the window freezes and it takes forever to get rid of it. I will likely go back to my old laptop that gets the blue screen of death almost daily because it works better than my new one.

Okay, the look is different I’ll buy. There are somethings I love about it and others that are annoying.

I drag/drop files from my removable media (SD cards, flash drives, external hard drives) all the time. The mechanism for doing so hasn’t changed, either. Are you getting an error or something?

The Google bookmarks thing is a “gift” from your hardware vendor, not from Vista. You could remove it if you don’t like it.
