Media Center issues

I’ve got another gripe with media center. I have to press the ‘window’ button twice before the window will actually go into window mode. I cannot work out a logical reason why you need to press it twice…

I don’t trust my Vista PC to work properly because it’s new and I don’t completely understand it just yet. For an IT person this is odd.
I have only installed Firefox and Thunderbird on the machine.
So if computers rely on their users to make them stuff up then does it mean I don’t trust myself?
Vista is slow

For many years I have been impressed at how computers have become faster and can do more things. So how come I have to wait 2 minutes before I can start using my new Vista based computer? I’m not anti-Vista I just want a computer that turns on quickly and works. My 3 year old XP SP2 machine takes 28 seconds.
You say just put it to sleep – but I don’t want to waste power and even when I did try it out I ended up with blank screens. (No more Blue Screen of Death – it just blank and black now) Admittedly I did leave the Media Center program on before putting it to sleep. I’d better stop…
