Quote: "Well, I'd say Microsoft is between a rock and a hard spot here. On one hand, they have all the security nuts and Linux fanboys saying "OMG1!1eleventy, WinXP is so easy to h4xx0rz! Its so full of security flaws, blah, blah....M$ has to make Vista more secure, blah, blah..." So Microsoft decides to make security a little more hardened, but doing so makes it a little more inconvenient for the average user. I hope there are settings to turn off features like that, or to modify your security settings. Unfortunately, it's going to be just as full of security holes and need just as many patches as Win XP, except now it'll be more annoying."
Running new programs is a right pain the ass in Vista, it's like having a firewall pop-up every time you try to access your own hard drive. If I double click on "Setup.exe" I don't want a message 5 seconds later asking me if I really want to run the program I just double clicked on, nor do I want it asking me if I want to run any program the program just I double clicked on is trying to launch. I have virus checkers and spyware checkers to insure that I'm not installing malware or spyware, let them do their job. Now if it's a case of a remote user trying to launch applications on my account, that's another matter, and if it's a case of Internet explorer trying to install an active X, java, or execuitable program on my system, then I'm more then happy to accept that style of doing things. But I'm A) logged in under an administrative profile, and B) double clicking on these files myself. It's just slowing me down.
