With so many great new features, it's hard to pick my favorite one, but I think today I finally made up my mind: My favorite new feature of Windows Vista is that you have to reboot to delete files. Sure the Windows Explorer will let you delete files, but most of the time, what you really want is to have a shadow of those files remain and to get an access denied error whenever you try to select them. Microsoft knew this is what users really wanted and built this functionality right into the core of the operating system. Only after a good healthy reboot will the files actually be gone.

And speaking of the reboot, it's not a big deal because Microsoft knew that I wanted to eat lunch at this time anyway, so they made the reboot take about twenty minutes, just enough time for me to grab a sandwich!

Another great feature is that once it does come back up, the operating system knows that my favorite game is dual monitor roulette! I just love wondering which monitor is gong to be recognized! Which one will be selected as my main monitor? And best of all, which one is going to have it's resolution randomly changed? Always keeps me on my toes, I just love it!

Oh and where is my sidebar anyway? I swear I had that docked to my other monitor. Guess it's time for another round of 'configure your desktop'!
