Gah! The compatibility at the filesystem level for XP to Win7 still has similar artifacts like that as well. Sound horrid at the localization level for non-ENG version though.

Still, VISTA is a pretty dead OS at this point. I have to work with VISTA systems now and then (since my sister has a Vista-based system or two). Even though Win7 is based on Vista, I despise how Vista was design from a IT tech's PoV. This is especially true when dealing with Network connections and management. (XP was simple, upfront, and straight forward; Vista require half a dozen clicks to get to the same point as I could in XP with 2 clicks. Win7 is better, but still require more windows/dialogues and clicks than XP.)
