Hi Damien, Quote
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, End quote 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. Quote the menus were different, End quote 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. Damien C.
