Hi!
I am using Vista Business 32b on a notebook computer. I was wondering if you
can have any access to the drivers function without installing the catalys
control center.
Those settings do not appear anymore in display properties.
Regards,

Nope. The usual alternative, ATi Tray Tools, is limited to XP.
Then again, if you already resigned yourself to the bloated, slow Vista,
installing Catalyst Control Center won't add any additional pain...

EVERYTHING is slow about Vista. The OS is supposed to be an unobtrusive,
simple platform to launch applications, not to take up multiple GBs on the
hard drive and look like a fruitcake.

The thirty Vista ready systems on which I installed it are all slower than
they were
with XP. Gotta follow Corporate Policy, though....

You know I read the hype about digital rights and all the other. I took the
plunge and installed Vista Ultimate by wiping Xp from my C drive. Is it
perfect? No, adobe reader 8 crashes. A few games have problems but most
were solved by running with admin rights.
After about 2 weeks I must say I love it and would never go back. It grows
on you with time and you start notice all the nice little things MS has
added. My regular ATI XL8000 just failed and I am writing this from a 64MB
video card. Guess what, it is usable. I cannot play many games but for
everything else it works okay with the Aero interface turned off
(automatically).
Oh, and this is from someone who occasionally boots Linux Ubuntu (a great
os) for an occasional change.

What specs would these computers have? My experience on AMD X2 4200+, ATI
Xl800 and 2GB Ram at home has been great. I can imagine that would change
on the average computer that exists at my workplace. >> Stay informed about: Vista - ATI drivers |

NOTHING!
"suppoed to be unobtrusive?" says who? you?
"simple platform to launch applications, not to ..." then get to work and
write one like you want one.

But see, you do not have a political agenda to support, you have not
invested your emotional life in another product and don't have to disparage
to boost your self esteem. The unfettered can just live and learn (as
opposed to live and politicize), experience and enjoy. Vista is FAST, at
least on my machine the way I've set it up. I wonder how slow TV would have
been in the 1920s? If you know what I mean? >> Stay informed about: Vista - ATI drivers |

Well Duh! What do you use your PC for? Games? Web? Email? Or do you sit
around and admire the fruity icons and 3D windows? I use my PC for the
applications.

I don't have to. WinXP with the classic interface works well enough. Of
course, I can always go a step further and use GameOS, which fundamentally
replaces the Explorer shell with a simple menu-based app launcher.
There's no political agenda here because I haven't spent money either way.
