Hi Damien,

 I mean, the fact that you have to be administrator to install things, 
and not just an administrative user. I think that's going way too far,

I'd like to point out that this security feature can be enabled and 
disabled via msconfig in Vista. Like many things about Vista it is 
configurable but most people don't know enough about the os to 
compitantly turn on or off features they want or don't want.

 the menus were different,

Again this is absolutely configurable. There is no need to bash the os 
for the end users lack of technical no how in setting things back to the 
way XP was, or setting things back to the way 9x was for that matter.
I don't know the blind users need to set everything back to classic look 
and feel. Our sighted peers do not use the os that way, and it does 
create a golf between us and them in communicating where to click, find 
this or that, and classic look and feel is like an old crutch we have 
held on to for way too long. However, the fact remains that Microsoft 
has left us the ability to do so if we have a preference to do so.
