MOVB-13 Minor annoyances

When importing pictures from a digital camera, you cannot selected pictures individually.

When doing anything that requires elevation from a network share (e.g. installing software), you have to re-enter network credentials after elevation (this is logical because of UAC design, yet annoying if you have a super-secure password :).

When creating a new folder in a "privileged" location, you have to go through UAC twice: once for creating the "new folder" directory, once for renaming it. Depending on the scenario, the number of UAC prompts can be as high as 4. Hopefully, "SP1 reduces the number of UAC (User Account Control) prompts from 4 to 1 when creating or renaming a folder at a protected location".

You cannot drag and drop files anywhere (like on the desktop) from a network share. You are restricted to a subset of folders, such as "Documents".

You cannot drag and drop inside a CMD anymore. This is "by design".

Windows Vista users cannot easily access files on a Windows XP partition in a dual-boot configuration. Default XP users are admins, and most files are accessible by the "Administrators" group only. Vista users are not admins, and Explorer cannot be elevated.

".HLP" files are not supported anymore.

HyperTerminal is not bundled anymore. There is no easy way to access the serial port on Windows Vista.

Telnet (and many other commands) are not available by default. You have to "re-enable" them from the Control Panel.
