Vista = an overly eager little kid that won't shut up
If I see "Windows needs your permission to use this program" again, I think I may scream.
I went to a Business Desktop Deployment class recently and one of the M$ reps sitting in hooked us up with Vista beta invites. A few days ago, I actually got around to installing build 5308 and I've started using it regularly. However, if it does not shut up, I will go right back to using XP or maybe start really getting into the Kubuntu I installed on my other box.
Seriously, Windows does NOT need my permission to run the task manager. I understand the whole secure computing initiative but that does not mean pester me every time I want to do one task or another. I haven't found the setting (if one exists) to make it stop bothering me every other second but once I do, it will never EVER get turned back on.
Meanwhile I have a few Live Messenger invites if a) anybody reads this and b) anybody wants one.
