All this drive to "improve" M$ Windows is beginning to feel more like a matter of Window Dressing that realistically expected functionality and/or security enhancements. You know, Same old whore, brand new dress. As an aside, I have not yet played with Vista. I am waiting for Virtual PC 2007 to get out of beta so I can run Vista in a virtual environment. But, one of my associates is running it on a new PC. He told me he had to disable a lot of the "new security improvements" just to get rid of the continual messages asking time and again if it is okay to do this, or "look out, that may be bad". So, the monkey is again tossed onto an End User's back. I can hear it now, "We provided for a secure environment to use your computer. What more could you want?" How about an Operating System that does not protect me by preventing me from working on my own PC? Hmmm, kind of a pre-bitch strike. I ought to "Wait & See". Oooops, that did not work so well with the Bush invasion into Iraq when we initially did not find any WMDs. Maybe this will be different. Some of my clients are already preparing to get new PCs, which pretty much have only Vista available. It is just a matter of time and my little world is going to be shattered...
