Oh dear...are people allergic to the Search button?

This is perfectly normal for a new install of Vista. It's indexing your drive and optimizing it, and should go away in a week or so.

I think someone should make a guide about Vista things.

The problems:

#1- Would be HUGE explaining all the things Vista does.

#2- Even if brief (still would be large), you would have someone complaining that you are technically wrong because you didn't explain it enough.

#3- Being it is so big, people wouldn't want to look at it.
 
It could be like:

"My hdd is constantly doing something"

- It's normal and a good thing. Live with it.

"My memory is constantly being used to the fullest"

- It's normal and a good thing. Live with it.

"My computer asks me all the time if i want to allow something"

- It's normal and a good thing. Live with it.

"My nVidia card doesn't work well"

- It's normal and a bad thing. Live with it or buy ATI.

"My creative soundcard is not working well"

- It's normal and a bad thing. Live with it or buy xyz.

"My printer is not supported"

- It's ok. Vista also doesn't support your 256MB P3 rig from 1999. Don't live with it.

"My desktop is so different, i can't find anything"

- Ever tried Linux with IceWM, WindowMaker or FVWM? Beat THAT!
