PC World has The Most Annoying Things About Windows Vista. Mostly they seem reasonable but I do disagree with a few. First of it's good to keep your things in your user-name folder. They whine "it's not that the new names and locations [for commands] are harder to use, it's that there's no particular need for the changes. And the new names tend to be vaguer than the ones they replace. I agree with that, particularly with vague terms like "Personalize" but putting files in arbitrary places is the same issue. If there's no reason to store your resume in "Programs and Files", don't.
It's also good that you don't run with full administrator privileges. Making serious changes to the configuration of the machine should be rare, and always having those rights is just dangerous. Their recommendation to change this is just inviting security problems.
