effmasterSo your saying that because Microsoft dumbed down Windows in order to attract more people and i.e. more revenue was a bad move? That seems nonsensical to me my freind, since you don't have to run as an administrator in Windows either. Its a little something called guest along with other accounts besides the administrator. If you were to minimize the amount of time you spend on the administrator setting the less likely you are to get a virus. And hey noone is telling YOU to run as an administrator in Windows are they?


Im happy with Vista thats all I really care about.

You can have your opinion I can have mine. Shall we shake virtual hands to that?:toast:

And besides this is a time of celebration not a time of nitpicking

mdm-adphGood move for revenue? Yes, of course it was -- never said it wasn't. I implied that it was a bad move for security.

most users I interact with during support calls aren't even aware that it exists. default settings are usually what most users run with.

effmasterOk then we can blame the users and not Microsoft!!!:D:D:D

effmasterOk ok im done thank you for respecting my opinion


and BTW when will it be a time to celebrate how great Windows is then if its not now?

mdm-adphThis attitude reflects what a friend of mine from Denmark said recently: "In America, apparently it's safe to sell food with poison in it as long as you print on the package that the food has poison in it." :laugh:

3991vhtesyour friend is wrong. Americans aren't allowed to sell poisoned food even if we say it has poison in it. :shadedshu

mdm-adphMillions of pregnant women being told not to eat tuna because of extremely high levels of mercury found in it would beg to differ. :p
