Yeah I agree, however if you switch to ubuntu you will still have the same problem as Windows Vista. In fact you will have a harder time switching it off in there.
I thought you might be smart enough to switch your firewall on, when you leave the office many don't though. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Munn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 16 December 2008 2:03 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: First pc with Vista Our office firewall is tightly controlled and (relatively) safe. I turn on the firewall outside the office, and I definitely have anti-virus software installed. As for UAC, we all got along without it prior to Vista, so that makes me a little skeptical of putting up with its many intrusions, although it certainly does make things safer. I'd switch my laptop to Ubuntu, but there are still a handful of things I need Windows for at the moment. If I knew it would work, I would switch to Ubuntu and run Vista in a virtual machine, but I am not confident that the bits and pieces of the Tablet PC work in a VM, at least not yet.
