Vista should then ask with a pop up balloon if you want UAC or not
and give a very easy way to turn the firkin thing off, because I can
guarantee
you that most people will not know how to turn it off, but they will
patiently keep pressing
the firkin thing until their hands fall off. (and of course they will be
pressing without reading,
because this is what humans do if they see a message 1000 times a day!) Can
you say cry wolf?

Ok let me send you a program then that will continuously read and write on
your disk 24/7.. lets
see how much less it will last! Can you say temperature, can you say energy?
You cant cant you?

Again MS has hidden the interfaced for indexing.. on XP there was a small
link on the search,
and by default it was off. Now default its on and they have no button.
This is a very very very very bad idea, that only a fanboy would like.
