Vista Home Premium sucks. I switched off that annoying bug where it asked my permission all the time.
I want to buy a Dell laptop for my son and noticed that they used to offer the choice of XP or Vista. So now when I go to place the order the XP option has gone and the price has risen more than AUS $200 since last week. I'll wait and see if the price falls again this Friday. Seems as if Dell's pricing is as volatile and cyclical as petrol prices here.

They unfortunately don't call it a bug, but rather a feature...Originally Posted by vaughan
But indeed, it's annoying as hell... that and the fact that some applications only work well when executed with "Run as Administrator", even though I already belong to the administrators group.

I like this post from SavagePotato on how to disable UAC:
" Here is how much skill it takes.
Click on start.
Click on user portrait.
Click on conspicuously titled link "turn user account control off"
Click continue and reboot when prompted.
I can see how that gets alot of people up in arms, it's pretty advanced."
