Dear Rob,

Why does PC Pitstop keep bashing Vista? Isn't it like biting the hand that feeds you?

Your Pal,

While I found many of the issues simply quarks I can say that there are some valid points. Though there is one which no one mentioned which personally I find quite annoying. I know how to shut it off but that is not the point. If I have to approve an execute then don't throw the machine in a tail spin to display a dialog asking my approval.

Honestly the truth is that none of this is necessary in a MAC as there is no need to protect system32 or the OS to this degree from the operator. While a .dll and cab files gain speed the trade off is questionable more every year. It does take a bit longer to execute a process in NIX, but with machines running faster all the time the trade off becomes less important.

I do not care for an operating system wants me to change my behavior, rather than being flexible to mine. Honestly I cannot believe the people inside are ignoring the same things everyone else sees they see. It is simply a case of denial on many fronts, while XP is near its end of life, people are faced with a couple of good choices. This should have MS being aggressive and this is clearly not the case. This too should indicate to those on top there is a problem.
