I agree though, that UAC or whatever they call it... horrible. When I first install Vista I always disable any prompts they added to prevent my fist from flying into the monitor.
I don't get this.

MS was hammered for years about how insecure it was. So they put in a prompt when something needs administrative privileges and now people turn it off.

It is only a freakin' click, I'm not sure why people get into a snit about it. Geez, once you have your stuff installed you should rarely get prompted, and if you are prompted you really should know what is screwing with your system.

Sorry, I'm not a MS lover (I also run a linux box) but it just seems MS was damned no matter what they did.

If you want to see where MS screwed up Vista, read about the class action lawsuit. The issues started when Intel pressured Microsoft about the "Vista Capable" program, and MS relented and said things were capable when they really weren't.
