WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MAKE IT STOP!

That's a valid complaint, but the first service pack went a long way to dealing with that. Further, it's just the UAC he'd be disabling. Even without that it's still more secure than XP. It's still pretty overblown. 7 is just an evolution over the exact same basic core as Vista.

Anyone in this day and age that would actually rather run Windows 98 than Vista deserves whatever happens to them.

Indeed. You're absolutely right. XP better than Vista in security, even with Vista's UAC off? Ridiculous... and Windows 7 really is just a new version of Vista that people seem to like more. At the core it's pretty much the same thing.

I've never liked Windows XP. I never really regretted sticking with ME instead of upgrading to it, and waited to get a new computer until Vista came out.

Unless you have to sit here and use Vista, don't lecture me about how great it is.

... I've been using Vista as the OS on my main computer for almost 3 1/2 years now...
