I'm sure that Microsoft will eventually get this fixed but in the meantime, this Vista release has been an absolute disaster for them. I would not be surprised to see Apple with a 15% market share by this time next year. And the more people that start using a Mac OS, the closer we will get to that "tipping point" where choosing an Apple over a PC will not be that scary to most people. And if we get to that point, things will quickly get very, very interesting in the computer world.
When they do this, Vista has virtually no security at all and is thus LESS SECURE than any of it’s other OS’s. >>>
Disagree whole heartedly. UAC is just one of the security changes, also it isnt as pervasive as you make it sound. UAC is the operation level security asking for permission to run certain(not all) programs. There is also malware detection, a much improved firewall, phishing protection..all of which where not built into XP or any other OS from MS, also some key changes to the kernel and other unseen installation changes that protects further.
