I just saw this thread in the neowin forums. Never heard of it, and thought I'd pass it on to those who use it and see what they think.

Apparently Vista's disk cleanup can wipe an entire drive, leaving the user to re-install it. This was reported by users who have stock installs of Vista, not just v-lite installs.

Interesting...i lost a whole bunch of photos at one point when copying to cd but I can't really understand how or why as it was pretty random about what i lost.

Ah, but is this behavior a bug or a feature?
Both, a Feature that's defined as bug.

Vista... HAHAHAHAHAHA
First experience with vista beta...killed a hard drive cause you couldn't reformat unless you had a little hack program that would rewrite the master boot record. (thus I got lucky, but hubby didn't).
Second experience, running vista ultimate now on a laptop that I use more so only for web design projects... it's ok, but in all honesty I wouldn't remotely think of running it on my other 3 gaming machines, lol.
I don't complete trust vista and with the laptop had network issues that was fun trying to fix. So I'm just waiting for the next quirk to appear.
