Ambroos Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 you went to change it to power off ?check power management on the left side there are "choose what the power botton do" from here you can configure it to shutdown instead After 1.5 years my uncle finally asked me how to do it. He couldn't find it. It's the most annoying thing in Windows Vista I think.

I know how to change the button. But for people who don't do deal with that type of stuff and don't customize how the computer works, it would be very obscure. Remember, think of all the people who have to use a computer but have no desire to use one. They use a few programs and don't worry about the OS.

ObiWanToby Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 you went to change it to power off ?check power management on the left side there are "choose what the power botton do" from here you can configure it to shutdown instead I might be the only person who actually used sleep. Microsoft tried to push sleep because it is a pretty low power state with an instant boot time. I guess not all configs work well with it, or some people just hated it?

jjrambo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I would have to agree on that. It looks out of place.. I agree but i think Vista Icons for Sleep/Shutdown were confusing. I think they should put Icons back but have it more distinct. Maybe Moon Icon to sleep, and Red Icon for shutdown, and Yellow Icon for logoff. Maybe just one Icon and so when they click on it just like in Windows 2003 Server little window pops up with options to logoff, shutdow, hibernate or sleep.

Mercellus Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I might be the only person who actually used sleep. Microsoft tried to push sleep because it is a pretty low power state with an instant boot time.I guess not all configs work well with it, or some people just hated it? Starting with Windows Vista I have always used sleep mode on both notebook and desktop computers because of the hybrid sleep functionality (similar to what Mac OS X 10.4 and higher can do), if there's a loss of power the system still comes back up nearly instantaneously in the previous state unharmed.

Ambroos Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 In Dutch, Microsoft made it all very complicated when switching from XP to Vista. In XP we had Standby (sleep) Slaapstand (hibernate) Now in Vista, it became Slaapstand (sleep) Sluimerstand (hibernate) And it is EXTREMELY confusing as two of them just switched around. I'm always puzzled when I see the dialog. I'm glad they have put back the shutdown button as default.

Kyang Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Border? Are you talking about the new Show Desktop button? Maybe he means how maximized windows don't seem to be proper aligned. For some reason, the close button doesn't reach edge of the screen.

jjrambo Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Don't think that Windows 7 will change that much GUI wise from Beta1 to Final. I'm expecting new sound scheme, maybe new icons and tweaks here and there. I think MS is working mostly under hood.
