if you don't like the pop-ups, switch them off. if you're not smart enough to figure out how to turn off UAC, then you need it ;)

(by YOU, I don't mean YOU, I mean people in general).

seems to me that half the problems people are having with Vista is a) they're basing their opinion on a beta they tried or b) their machines are incompatible. Even new machines with a "Vista Ready!" sticker doesn't mean it will run Vista properly, just that it can run the basic basic version (and that is currently the subject of a law suit). Saying that, I don't have the latest dual core, 1 gig gfx card, 8 gig ram machine. I'm using a five year old Pentium IV, with one gig of ram, and an old Radeon 9550 gfx card. Vista flies.

I'm one of the only people on the planet who actually loves Vista, to the point of being evangelical about it. MS should be paying me or something lol. All I'm saying is don't believe the anti-hype. Seems people are ready to jump on Vista for every little thing... "Vista has drm? Damn, I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like it". Except - what DRM? On what?

It's still no OSX, but its the best OS Microsoft have released (and I was a big Windows2000 fan, but this is better).

I'll shut up now and go back to making pictures :)
