after a few hours mucking around on Vista beta I can say I'm not
terribly impressed. Nagware would be a good term for it every
attempt to configure settings is accompanied by endless popups asking
for authentification, then if you if you really want to do that and
the consequences of it (often type 1 Nodal windows that stop you from
doing anything else with any other software currently running) then
as often as not in the next step in the configuration you asked all
that all over again.
I was talking to a few people after last night's meeting about this
(topic: it takes seven steps to remove a shortcut icon from the
Vista desktop):

...and people will continue to believe that this is how it should be
done. Definitely comes under the "it's not a bug, it;s a feature"
heading.
