  Reports are that UAC is still there, but Microsoft has fixed the
problems where it prompts you repeatedly for the same action (like
copying a file... hello, Microsoft, did you use Vista at all before
you released it?).  There may also be some things it doesn't prompt on
but just does, by default.

  Well, yes and no.  Certainly, whatever Vista has is because of
Microsoft's designs.  So if Vista breaks compatibility with something,
that's because of something Microsoft did.  Now many the app vendor is
doing something stupid.  Who's to blame?  I'd say the app vendor.  But
what if the app vendor was doing something stupid that Microsoft used
to recommend, but has changed their stance on now?  Who is to blame
then?

  It's interesting.  Whenever somebody tries Linux, and it lacks a
driver for something, that's a problem with Linux.  But when Vista
doesn't have a driver for something, that's the hardware manufacture's
fault.
