For All The New Features in Vista......there were also quite a few things that were taken out. Most of it wasn't need anyway, but it's still interesting to see what Microsoft deems important and not. Posted by Jake on 07/27/08 @ 09:33 PM

Jake said on 07/28/08 @ 11:03 AM: I never really got a chance to play with Longhorn much, and my experience with Vista is enough to know it drives me batty. UAC has got to be the most annoying thing on Earth and probably the first thing I turn off for a Vista system if I'm using it. I understand their reasoning for including it, but I didn't realize how many times you had to click "OK" when you're just trying to setup a system for use in a corporate environment. Cripes... amanda said on 07/28/08 @ 11:06 AM: omfg i know !! even when its off it still reminds u on startup that its turned off.... gah. not that i turn off my computer much.. but still !
