Picking for the wrong reason

This "article" displays the effect of blind anti-volish "racism". It doesn't matter what they do or don't do, it's all wrong as far as TheInquisitor is concerned.

To me this just proves that they do listen, and they're not rigid (as opposed to TheInq's biased one-sided gurgitations towards the "vole"). The article writers here ought to make it a habit to ask themselves if they're making sense or if they're just stuffing their thumbs up their nostrils.

@Kev

The problem is that MS need to coerce all the developers of the large code-base that was migrated to XP via the Win-DOS path, to re-write their applications to work in standard user environment of NT, rather than the admin-mode compatibility demanded by programs assuming full control of the OS - as per the Win-DOS environment. Whilst ever these applications continue to exist, and people either need to run them as admin or in elevated privs, then the non-technical user needs to be made aware of the potential dangers it presents to them. Without doubt, people should be able to run their systems as standard users, but until Vista, even many standard Microsoft apps required admin privs for everyday tasks... so who can really blame 3rd party devs for being a bit slower to pick up the pace on this... and obviously, some older apps will never be fixed.

NEW: Free Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition....

UAC is Good, as allows Machine to Clear Unwanted process from being near software preperation, gives time to establish new install. Completely NEW look to Ad aware came out recently, it is much quicker & deeper in scan, Still free. Just click on Update & takes 10 minutes to install. It has More Complex Scan Engines Now, Too.

Still won't work

The very first thing I do when I install vista on my own machine is disable UAC, then disable notification about it!

I think the Linux guys got it right when they made it so that only a superuser could change system settings, and if a normal user tried to it asked for the superuser password. However, logged in as superuser it doesn't ask for a password as it believes the superuser knows what they are doing.

I wonder when MS will finally give in and steal that method too. This UAC "Are you sure?^3" feature is rediculous.

Beta test working!

All this means is that the general release beta test is working. Its suprising the number of people who think a beta product sucks because it has a bugs... That also covers feature use, which was the issue in this case.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
