Well the unix way sure as hell beats the Vista way! It's proven and it works! Vista on the other hand have VirtualStore directories, Virtual registry entries etc... All simply to try and fix applications that are "broken" because they did not adhere to security rules. I'm not a Microsoft fan, but they were right to hammer down on UAC (at long last), just a pity about this "virtual" sh*t. Simply allow configuration files to be written in the users HOME folder, nowhere else, unless you are Admin — how difficult is that! You don't need this virtual crap.
