    security in windows vista

    what is the sense of so many security options on vista?? i have spent most of
    this day on disabeling them because i was unable to install the drivers which
    i needed. i also have problems with these stupid security settings and they
    only cause trouble. and the incompability of win vista with win xp software
    is also realy disturbing

    The security that is there is to prevent things like spyware and viruses from
    affecting the system if protection is not present, and also to prevent other
    corrupt files from doing damage to the system. The UAC settings are getting a
    big revamp in future builds from what I've heard and read, so the security
    dialogs asking for permission and such should get much less annoying in the
    future. If you want more info on UAC, see the development blog at
    http://blogs.msdn.com/uac
