Re: Vista bugs

Actually, Vista WITH UAC enabled is only as secure as XP. The simple fact
of the matter is that a user can do as much harm to a Vista computer with
UAC as they can with XP. The difference is that you have might have to
clicky a button to do the damage with Vista.

Said it before, and won't stop saying it, clicking a button does NOT make a
system more secure. In fact, in many ways it is far far worse.
