It doesn't matter much how well the kernel guys did their jobs - the UI is horrible, horrible, horrible!!!
I wish Microsoft had followed the *nix paradigm and provided the kernel and the UI as two separate pieces. Besides, that would allow others to compete for the UI development. Marc

a slider is the wrong control for picking one item from a small list of items.

It's there for a reason. In Vista Icon sizes in the Explorer list view are more or less continuous. Small Icon: 16x16 Medium Icon 32x32 Large Icon : 48x48 Extra large: 256x256 (128x128 not sure) Vista also supports Icon sizes 18x18, 20x20, 22x22 etc So the slider allows for the continuous selection of icons sizes that are between small - medium or medium - large or large - extra large.

they aren't arranged large to small. and much more changes than icon size when you go from List to Details to Tiles.

You are suppose to say "WOW" if anything like this happens because the "WOW starts NOW (Oy, That Pun Hurts) the moment you start using VISTA"

They ought to have done that back in NT 3.1...
-- Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
IIRC NT 3.1 was like that, but in 3.5 they moved the video system into kernel mode to get a speed increase.
