You come up into my face and get out of line like you did and Ringmaster Albright has done in the past, then why should I respect you. It's not going to happen.
I only respond that way when someone else has already started with attitude.
I don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks, but when anyone comes off with the 'holier than thou' crap, I respond in kind.
And that's not what you did with your suspender BS and your thoughts on things. Who anointed you anything of importance to me?

If you need all the half baked security in Vista, great.
There you go again. Who cares as to what you think?

All it does for me is to grate on my nerves.
I don't care if that's what it does for you.

To have the default security settings locked down and only allow changes by an admin is fine.
What is your point here? You have that with the hidden built-in Administrator account that is an account with full admin rights.

You just don't have full rights as a user/admin with the default user/admin out of the box account on Vista or any subsequent user/admin account that are created on Vista, as they do not inherit full admin rights from the built-in Administrator account, like it does on XP.


Done right, security is great, but for an software supplier to decide that an admin is not really an admin and lock things down like MS has tried to do is NOT acceptable to me.
I am sorry, because, I guess you just flat-out don't know what you're doing when it really comes down to it.

What other OS treats an admin like that?
It doesn't treat the hidden built-in Administrator user account like that.

I want to set things up MY WAY and if I get whacked by some website, so be it.
To force several extra steps for every setting change, and to have to login as a Super Secret Hidden Admin to do so is bologna.
Well, there is nothing you can do about it, right? Other than not use the product. It's as simple as that.

It's not up to the software maker to protect me from myself.
I don't like the way they put Vista together. If you do, I'm glad for you.

So be it. Now will you please STOP, because I don't care what you think.

And I am not trying to get out of line here either. It's just the way it is, as I don't care.


You all could have tried few distros of Linux(Ubuntu 8.04, Linux mint,Kubuntu or Xubuntu) instead of wasting your time like this. Come on,do your selve a favour and try them. Future is Linux(I am a fortune teller BTW).

I have already tried, used, and I got Suse Linux. Why don't you STOP trying to beat the horse crap into the ground at the stables over Linux, as I don't care as to what you think, either. Linux is just another O/S I have used along the way, big deal.
