I just tried to upload some hundreds of vacation photos from Windows Vista to our gallery which I’m hosting on my own root server. It turned out that this would be a not-so-simple task… 
Previously, using Windows XP, this would be as simple as
- invoking the “Web Publishing Wizard” from the “Folder Tasks” pane,
- clicking “Publish this folder to the web”,
- optionally selecting a target size for resizing (a copy of!) the photos before you upload them, and finally
- clicking “Finish” to start the upload.
Not so anymore with Vista!
