The most annoying aspects of Windows Vista

PC World publishes a laundry list of irritants in Windows Vista:

We often worry about Microsoft playing Big Brother, but now it's playing Big Mother, attempting to protect you from your own rash impulses to run new software. Try to download a program, and Internet Explorer will block it. ("It's for your own good. You can't be too careful, you know. Who knows where that program has been!") Unblock it, and IE will ask if you really, truly want to download the software. ("These programs can be dangerous, you know. I just don't want you to get hurt.")

	sleeper says: you know, i turned off the nanny-feature in vista! go to control panel: user accounts: user accounts (again): (find your user): click on "turn off user account control": UNCHECK and click on "OK". Once that was turned off you shouldn't get any annoying "are you SURE" messages. Also, you should be using Firefox anyway..... Posted: 02/20/07 15:23
