Well, lemme tell 'ya Larry, if everything worked and if I could easily
configure some things the way I used to be able to do (things for which
there are no settings dialogs in Vista, even though they're necessary), I'd
love it. There's no doubt that Vista is attractive. And the prominence
that Microsoft has /finally/ given the folder tree in the user interface is
a BIG plus in my book. But right now, its beauty is only skin deep:

When the contents of a seemingly selected item in the folder tree in the
left-hand pane aren't shown in the right-hand pane, that's a disaster
waiting to happen. When people get lost, sometimes they do things that get
them killed.
